Christmas Dresses -- FINALLY

Abbey, Gracie and Lily

The girls FINALLY got to wear their Christmas dresses today. We haven't had church since December 20th and so the girls hadn't gotten the chance to wear them. They got to wear them today and looked so cute. Abbey wasn't really "into" shopping/trying them on this year so she just picked this one to get out of the store!

Gracie lost her first tooth

Gracie FINALLY lost her first tooth the other morning. She woke up with it in her mouth. So glad she didn't swallow it! Of course, she has long thought she lost a tooth a long time ago due to the gap she has between her two top teeth! But, she finally lost her bottom tooth and had a visit from the tooth fairy that night. She was excited to get to school to show her friends and teacher!

Abbey and Dave

Dave was planning his annual Christmas card and wanted a family Snowball fight for the pictures. He went home after Grandma Smith's Christmas dinner and created two forts for each team. He also hooked the trailer up to the tractor complete with a bench for the kids to take a ride on the wagon. He told the girls to bring their two snowball makers and to be ready for a snowball fight. We invited Nate, Sarah and Noah to come for the fun too! The object of the game was simple-- be ready to steal the other team's flag. Once Sarah, Nate and Noah arrived the teams were divided. Of course, Abbey, Gracie and Sarah couldn't be divided so that left Lily, Noah and Nate. Lily really enjoys playing with Noah so she didn't mind. Kent took one team and Dave took the other. I was to take pictures and Nana went inside to make the cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate. Uncle Nick was assigned the duty of referee and Aunt Sarah is pregnant so she is pretty limited on what she can do. Uncle Clint saw that the "young" team was losing so he jumped in on their team and helped launch snowballs against the "old" team. After the game was over, the kids jumped on the wagon for a ride on Dave's make-shift wagon. Once the ride was over, they headed in for Nana's cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate.
