The kids had a holiday performance this evening at school. Nat was excited to get dressed up for the performance. I had to convince Tyler to wear a tie.

Tyler tried on Ms. Pavlos’ glasses

On Saturday evening we went over to cousin Sinclaire’s house for dinner. The kids decorated gingerbread cookies.

Nat lost her ninth tooth on Friday. When I picked her up from daycare, she said her tooth was super wiggly and while driving home she said her mouth was bloody. I told her when we got home to wash her hands and try plucking it. She plucked and the tooth came out!

She quickly got her tooth fairy pillow out. The tooth fairy left her $6.

We took the kids to watch the Nutcracker ballet in San Francisco last night. It was their first time watching a ballet/musical type of show. Both said they liked it and want to go again next near. Their favorite part was the fight with the mouse king.

On Saturday morning I asked the kids if they wanted to go take a picture with Santa. A place nearby was offering free pictures with Santa. Natalie wanted to, but Tyler didn’t really. I made him go anyways. They got excited when we got there.

After the picture, Santa asked them what they wanted for Christmas. Here Natalie is telling him she wants arts and crafts stuff. Tyler told him he wanted this “puzzle toy”.

In the car today:

Nat: Mom, how many pounds are you?
Me: Why do you ask?
Nat: I just want to know.
Tyler: Are you 1000lbs or something?
Me: Do I look like I’m 1000 lbs?!?!
(Nat is laughing hysterically)
Tyler: No, you don’t look jumbo. I once saw a 1000lb lady on TV. She was jumbo.

Nat has Boo and mini Boo. I got her the mini Boo from Vegas and Uncle J got her the regular Boo as an early Christmas present. She loves these dogs and takes them everywhere she goes. She would even take them to school if I let her.

This evening after dinner we went to Home Depot to look for a Christmas tree. We told the kids we could only get a small tree because we didn’t have space.

Natalie painted this picture as a present for Uncle J and Auntie Tul. When she finished it, she showed it to me and I said, “It’s really cute, but you’re missing a baby!” She forgot they were having twins. So she added another baby in!
