Lately

 This little lady lost her first tooth in November.  She lost it while we were in Omaha at my parents house.  She lost her second one a week later.  She is now excited to lose all of her teeth....she liked getting her dollar from the tooth fairy. Can you Believe she will be 7 in a few weeks?!?!?!  I can't!
 And this graceful little thing will be 2 in a few weeks!!!  Baby no more....it is kinda sad.
 And of course Gabby.  She did this pose intentionally. ....she cracks me up daily!
....and Back to Dani......This is her first night in a toddler bed. :(  We are having family come in for Christmas, so I decided to start getting the rooms ready for multiple visitors.  I put the toddler bed in the little girls room, not thinking Dani would actually sleep in it.  But she wanted to.  And Ben only had to tell her once that she couldn't get out.  And there she stayed the rest of the night! Maybe Potty Training will be just as easy, but I'm not quite ready to start that yet.  I am not ready to fully give up my baby! I am ok with diapers for right now.

We spent Thanksgiving with Ben's family on the Hinckley/Ewing side. It was a fun/relaxing day.  It was especially nice because I didn't have to host or cook anything big!  I bought a pie, and drinks, and made deviled eggs. The day before Thanksgiving, Ben had to work, but the girls didn't have school.  So we went up to Ogden to visit Ben's Grandparents, Granny and Grandpa Schramm. It normally takes the girls a good half hour to warm up to them.  But I was really happy with them.  They took the Granny and Grandpa right away.  I was glad, because they were looking forward to their visit.  Afterward, I took the girls to Aunt Virginia's green house.  They own a huge Green house not far from Granny's.  They grow thousands of poinsettias every winter. It is kinda cool to look across this huge green house and see all the flowers.  The girls LOVED it! And we came home with some as well.

But November is over, and December is here.  The tree is up, and shopping is pretty much done.  December is a busy month.  I have a lot going on with primary, and work, and the kids stuff.  But I will be happy and relaxed once school is out for break.  Then things really get to slow down!
