Alex's Lost a Tooth!

It was an exciting afternoon at our house - Alex lost his first tooth. It has been wiggly for a while and his adult tooth had started to grow in behind it. Today, Alex said he could twist it around and we told him to keep on wiggling!

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

We've managed to check quite a few things off our holiday list: gingerbread boys, gingerbread houses, trains, and the Christmas tree!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Detroit this year. The cousins played all day and we even had a visit from Uncle Andrew. The food was delicious - we were all stuffed by the end of the evening.

Go Blue!

On Wednesday morning, we drove to Ann Arbor for our tour of the Big House. We gave the tour to Phil last Christmas and we were finally able to go! We went up in the towers and saw the press box, the broadcast booth, and the suites. The boys thought it was really fun to see the stadium from up high. Then we went into the game day locker room before spending about 30 minutes on the field - which was definitely the highlight! We brought a football along and all got to catch touchdown passes in the end zone. The boys also ran the length of the field, sat on the benches, and stood on the "M."

Thanksgiving Show

Alex had his Thanksgiving "performance" at school today. I actually caught part of the dress rehearsal (in the green shirts) as well as the actual show. The kids were so sweet!

Skating with the Broncos

Sitting on the boards

Today was the annual KOHA skate with the Broncos. We always have so much fun. We all get to skate for the first hour while the Bronco hockey players skate around as well. They are so nice to all the kids. Then the boys can wait to get a team poster. We move down the table and each player signs it. Then we get a pizza dinner at the end.
