JR's Lost Tooth

JR FINALLY lost his first tooth last night! (Of course it had to happen right in the middle of our home teachers' lesson! So they got to witness all the excitement along with the rest of us!) We have been wondering when this was going to happen for a very long time. Christian lost his first tooth when he was 6. JR is almost 8!


He was so excited when the Tooth Fairy brought him a dollar! He is such a simple kid! We sure love that about him!

Christmas Lights

For the past few years, we have spent Thanksgiving weekend in Salt Lake. It is always a nice break for us before things get really busy with Pher's work. This year we went to see the Christmas Lights at Temple Square. They were so beautiful!

There were several nativity displays from around the world. They were so cute!

They also had these metal lanterns around the nativity displays. They had such great detail!

Brendan wasn't exactly impressed with the lights. He was not happy in the stroller, so we let him out to walk and he immediately started to crawl on the cement pushing his Lightning McQueen car around. At least it hadn't snowed yet!

Thanksgiving '09

This year we held Thanksgiving dinner at our house. It was a beautiful day! We enjoyed having our family celebrate with us, but we missed those who weren't able to be here.
