Dirt Dirt Dirt

What is this you ask? This is the excavation for our foundation!!! We have really begun. Because of hillside ordinances, we get to dig 2 1/2 feet below where our foundation will be and fill it with a different kind of dirt. The dirt that is there has too much clay.

Preston's Braces

Preston was delighted to get braces (or not) and even more excited to have me take a picture and put it on the blog (or not). He actually has been a really good sport about the whole thing. And I think he is quite cute in his braces.

Adam's New Underwear

Adam was quite excited to show off his new underwear for the camera.

Nutcracker

Each year we take the kids to the Nutcracker. (We do make sure that they want to because it is none too cheap.) This year it was a totally new production. I liked it better, but the kids weren't so sure. It was definitely much shorter, but was missing a few things from the past production. The kids liked the "storyline" of the past performances better.

Elves, Elves, Elves

Each night, sometimes multiple times in a night, the doorbell rings, and to our surprise there is a treat/gift on our doorstep. We have some very kind people who are making our Christmas Season all that much better. YUM YUM, FUN FUN
