Hannah had the whole week of Thanksgiving off school and Nathan took vacation days too. Nice to have some time to spend together. In addition to taking Christmas pictures we also went to the zoo. Then the rain came and we enjoying playing at home and putting up Christmas decorations. LOVED having both girls home!
The church children's choir did their concert before Thanksgiving. They did a great job! It was so fun to watch Hannah sing and see how much she's grown up. The choir performed a musical and then some of the small group classes performed, including Hannah's puppet group. Nathan got a video of the puppet performance but the file is too big to include here. So a picture will have to do. These are black light puppets and Hannah is the pink snake in the bottom right corner. (Photo Credit goes to David Alvey, church photographer) She knew all the words and motions to the songs.

Speaking of Hannah growing up, she lost her first tooth. And by lost I mean, it was truly gone. It wiggled for about a week and was hanging by a thread. She would NOT let us pull it. My parents came to see Hannah's program and asked to see her wiggly tooth. She opened her mouth and realized it was gone. My guess is she swallowed it. She wrote a letter to the tooth fairy and was so surprised the next morning. She found a note from the tooth fairy saying she would look for her tooth and to enjoy a new pencil and some money. Hannah said "Mommy I thought the tooth fairy was imagination, but she's real and she left me a present!" Her only exposure to the tooth fairy was in books so she thought it was pretend. So fun to see her excited!
Still can't get used to the toothless smile!
