This year we went to Bead Lake to find a tree (note to self, scope out a better place to look for a tree). This was more of a hiking experience, although the trails are wide and well maintained. It's more that the little ones are wimpy and it was cold and I didn't make Maeve wear her heavier coat. But we found a great tree that may be our best one yet. It's not too big, it looks great! So far, it only has lights and isn't getting ornaments because the combination of our sons and our puppy will mean chewed and ruined ornaments and I'm just not down for that this year.

Our yearly tradition - chocolate making! These are all the photos I took. But we did it! We spent a whole afternoon making chocolates.

That yearly tradition! Although this year, I made the pancakes on Wednesday which really through my kids for a loop! That was an adjustment. I didn't want to add that into Thursday morning turkey trot and meal prep, which was smart because I ended up with a sinus infection.

My baby girl is missing her top two front teeth and I'm having all the feels! Maeve's bottom 4 were pulled out at the dentist so this was her first experience with wiggly teeth and it's been fun! I ended up pulling out both of those top two about a week or so apart. I always get really sad when those baby teeth start coming out because children's smiles and looks change so drastically! Maeve is an odd duck and does not want to put her teeth under the pillow for the tooth fairy. She's saving them thank you very much!

Yup, we're that kind of pet parents.
