Josephine lost a tooth!

Josephine lost her first tooth a week after her birthday! It came out while she was wiggling it in the bathtub. The tooth fairy brought her a dollar and a book for her tag reader. The tooth next to it is a little loose, but it will be awhile before it comes out. What a big month for Josephine!

Josephine's 5th Birthday

Josephine turned 5 this December! We took a few of her friends from school to a Lady Vols basketball game the week before. I forgot to take the camera for that event. The girls had a great time. We had a family party on the weekend. The pictures are from that party.

Getting ready for the party:


Ada helping making the cake.


Josephine wanted another dragon cake this year. At least I got a new design and color this time.


Suzannah needed a bath before the party.



The Party:

Ada was having an interesting hair day.

Fiona Lynne Garner (Naomi's sister) joined us for the party two days after she was born.

Putting up the Christmas Tree

Josephine insisted that the girls dress up in the Christmas outfits while putting up the tree this year. We had to make our emergency run to get more lights about halfway through as usual, but we ended up with more lights than usual on the tree and it looks really good.


All three girls together. It's not a great picture, but it's the only picture of them altogether where everyone is decently clothed. (Ada has something against wearing clothes. Maybe it's just the potty training.)


Josephine and MaeMae.






She really liked the lights.

As I said before, all the other pictures I can't post online because of Ada's lack of attire. The joys of potty training. She still wears a pull-up at night, but that's only just in case, she hasn't wet a diaper in awhile! Yea, Ada!

Thanksgiving 2010

We had our usual Thanksgiving evening at the Anderson's farm this year, but we didn't have our traditional brunch because of germy babies/kids. Suzannah had a slight fever on Thanksgiving, but she seemed to be doing okay later that day. This was just the beginning of the sicknesses over the next month! Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving night.


Jo playing with MaeMae.


MaeMae loves to do the noise where you move your finger really fast on her lips. Ada loved that game too when she was a baby.


Ada eating/wearing dessert. As usual.


Nathan, MaeMae, and Ada.


MaeMae getting plenty of attention from Uncle Jeff and Granna.

We would have had more pictures with Ada and Isaac, but they were both "free-bunsing" most of the time. ; )
