LOL. Thanks for the good laugh. When I'm talking about the Christmas Elf that "watches" Lucas or Santa and the Tooth Fairy breaking and entering during certain times of the year, I'm always aware of how scary that sounds to a kid.

Lucas is kind of on to the Tooth Fairy. He knows I've saved his baby teeth in little baggies in his baby memento box. So when he lost his last tooth, he wanted to know if the Tooth Fairy is real since she leaves money but I have the tooth. He's even asked me if Santa is real.

He scared me to death one day talking about Heaven. I know most people here aren't religious, and, frankly, I'm not either in a formal way. He's young and misses his great grandmother who died two Christmases ago, so he was happy he was going to see her in Heaven. Then he asked if he could be any age, play with his toys, etc., and I ended up making Heaven sound so good it would cause someone to commit suicide just to get there. He told me he wanted to die so he could go there.

Tooth Fairy may be real :) For some reason, my child brain thought it looked like the above link.

Aww I was a fan of He-man/She-ra too!

Tressa, I use to collect my kids teeth when they were little, why..I have no idea now. Then I was cleaning out my closet one day and came upon the teeth. Having three children, you can just imagine I had alot of teeth. It grossed me out! Reminded me of some physco killer saving teeth from it's victims. In the garbage they all went.

On the subject of Santa, I still tell our kids that there is a Santa. Because Santa is real! He might not be a person but the spirit of Santa is real. It's the spirit of giving and spreading joy to people.

Falalalala....

*gasp!* You threw away your babies' teeth? For shame.

LOL, yes! What are you going to do with Lucas's teeth?

Do teeth burn?

So years from now, when you no longer live in that house, some kid can dig them up and start a really weird investigation that turns out to be a hoax.

lol....

Now that would be awesome.

You guys have ruined a lot of things for me today....no santa or tooth fairy??? Next you will tell me there is no bigfoot or The Great Pumpkin!

i never said the tooth fairy didn't exist. He's just creepy looking. :)

The Tooth Fairy is a guy??? That explains why I only got a dollar. Guys are so cheap.

umm mine was, I guess, haha.

Don't listen to what anyone says, Jenn! There is a Santa and Tooth Fairy.

and bigfoot and the great pumpkin.

Tooth Fairy is a girl!

what if there's a fleet of tooth fairies? and no sex discrimination hiring practices!

What self-respecting man would want to be called a fairy?

No amount of money under my pillow would I want that to be the Tooth Fairy.

He/She is just to funny!

I don't know about Gatorman, but... I'm brushing my teeth tonight! (And Flossing!)

That guy is hilarious. About 10 years ago I stumbled onto his adult Peter Pan blog and couldn't stop laughing. He instructs people how to dress like PP and had an extensive picture gallery. Bless his heart. Not sure he still has the blog.

Our families Christmas fireplace.

Elaine, I love it! My gosh, that stone fireplace is magnificent. Reminds me of my old one *sniff sniff* but only larger.

That is an exceptionally lovely fireplace decor :)

Here's Luke on Santa's lap this year. Santa asked him what he wanted, and he said he couldn't remember. Then I walked over and reminded him that he wanted a Nintendo 3DS. Lucas glanced at Santa and said, "I think someone else is getting me that." (His grandmother). Then I suggested a football. Lucas shook his head in a panicked way and said, "I remember now. I want a Mario in Wonderland!" He blanked out like Ralphie when it came down to the wire.

Thanks, Tressa and Bandit!

The fireplace is one of the things that sold me on the house. Nothing better to me then siting by the fire on a cold winters night.

Lucas looks tall...is he really tall for his age?

Now that's a million dollar smile! Years from now when you look back you'll have a smile on your face as big as Luke's! Great picture!

Lucas is tall, not sure how tall, though. We need to measure him because I'm curious. His legs go on forever. Ha, believe it or not, there's a girl in his class taller than he is. I love his toothless smile.

Thanks, Eileen. :-D And about your fireplace, our last stone fireplace was the thing that sold my husband on the house, too. It was a beautiful fireplace, but I like our new one, too, even though it's brick. I'll have to take a pic of my mantle tonight.

Yes, that would be great! Love to see your mantle.

Oh Eileen that is just wonderful! We have a stone fireplace now too (not that big) and I really love it. We haven't used it yet. It is one of the reasons why we rented this house.

Great picture of Lucas!

Thanks, Jenn. I have misplaced my digital camera, and the bigger one we have sucks up battery juice like you wouldn't believe. I hate changing batteries.

Great Grandma & Wyatt.
Went down to my middle brother's house for an early Christmas get together and dinner.
This is my mom...

You've got a pretty mom, Lee. Great picture of them two together.

Such a nice pic!

Thanks Tressa....grandma turns 75 on the 26th.

Thanks, Jenn

Your mom looks wonderful for 75, great picture, Lee!

I agree, Eileen. She has smooth, beautiful skin.

Keeping my fingers crossed that I look that good at 75.

I was thinking the same thing....such nice skin.

I'll let her know ladies...she'll enjoy the compliments!

She does look great, Lee!!
The little one is cute too. : )

Thank you, Charlene!

Slim pickins after the storm... they're 20 feet in front of the garage...


Next year, he'll be a shooter:)

Here's the little camo dude....with camo mom!





Once he figures out the "throttle"...



All this Santa stuff, makes a guy thirsty...

the cutest little huntergatherer :)
Merry Christmas, Wyatt !
