All I want for Christmas

This morning Addison lost two front teeth (the little teeth between the eye teeth and main front teeth).  She pretty much doesn't lose teeth, she has to have them pulled.  To date she has only lost 3 teeth on her own and has had more than that pulled.  For some reason the root never dissolves and the adult teeth can't come in.

I took all the kids to the orthodontist on Monday.  They sent us a thank you card with a $5 Starbucks gift card...  yes, I predict a lot of money being spent in their office.  Kaylee has been in headgear for over a year now and Addison started hers Monday.  Poor thing has developed huge canker sores where the braces are in back and she's having more trouble learning to sleep in her new device.  In time she will settle into it all...

Needless to say... she LOVES getting teeth pulled.  A little happy gas makes for a happy girl.  I told her she can now sing, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth"

Lady of Guadalupe

Each year two kids from each classroom are chosen to participate in the Lady of Guadalupe Mass.  This year Addison, Jadon and Cody each were able to dress and carry flowers to the feet of the Virgin Mary.  They looked adorable!!  Kaylee handled not being part of it all very well.... "no big deal" which was really quite a shock and not her personality.
