Visit with Santa

Santa came to visit at the Capital City Club on Sunday, and we had Brunch with Santa. Braceland went over his list with Santa which contained only 3 items, a Hans Solo Ship, sleeping bag, and a new bike horn. He has not realized we have passed his bike down to someone else, because he outgrew it. I dare not mention it. He may add a bike to the list. He does have a 3 wheeled bike, sort of like the old Hot Wheels bikes with wide tires. I guess he could use a horn on that one. He is so excited about the Holidays and Christmas. He really gets into the lights and all the decorations. I baked about 30 dozen cookies this past weekend for clients and friends. I know what some are thinking, but it really was fun.

Braceland loses his first tooth

This was exciting! Braceland pulled his tooth or shall we say wiggled it out during nap time at school last week. Now that we lost the second tooth this week, I thought maybe I will download both pics from last week and this week. Ther permanent tooth was directly behind it and fully in. I must say the 2 new teeth are far from straight. I am hoping they straighten out over time.

Tooth No. 2

We lost tooth No. 2 this week. Sister Maria (St. Joseph's private Dentist) assisted with this one. Braceland was thrilled. Another visit from the Tooth Fairy.

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My sister, Lea, her daughter, Mary Evans and my brother, Jay, came over. Jay spent a few days with us, and by Saturday he had enough family and headed back to Wilmington. Braceland was so excited this year about Thanksgiving. He made a lamented placemat, buffalo skin and Indian head dress for decorations. He decided we did not have enough decorations, so he drew the turkey you see and placed it on the table for our center piece. He took charge and said the blessing for everyone. It is amazing how much he has grown up. I spent a lot of time cooking the traditional dinner with all the fixings, but as you see, he chose the mashed potatoes and a roll.
