The Hot MC and the Red Whale

Last weekend Thomas's clinic had a formal dance and dinner, it was so much fun! Thomas with his bubbly personality was asked to be the MC, he did a rendition of "Pants on the ground" from American Idol. He was great, and got to wear a sexy tux. I on the other hand, with a bulging belly now got wear a pretty but complicated dress which was a rich red. I felt very pretty in it and wore my diamond dangly earrings from my senior prom and a red diamond necklace which I've had since I was 5 from a costume jewelry store. I looked at pictures afterward and realized what a whale of girl I am! But I don't mind, at least I have an excuse and it's temporary. We danced, ate dinner, learned how to salsa, I got to meet many of his co-workers and we were pooped by 10:30. It was a blast to be out and about with my honey, a night on the town.

Joe's first tooth loss

Joe FINALLY lost a tooth. He has been begging dad to pull one out for about a year now. One was loose, (I think a couple more might be) and it was extracted!! Oddly enough Joe insisted on keeping it to show his teacher and all his friends, instead of getting money from the TOOTH FAIRY! (Something I have been looking forward to doing!) Joe told me he wants to keep all his teeth and give them to the tooth fairy all at once, to receive a bigger cash reward in the end. For some reason we were talking about it in the car, and an instant childhood memory popped into my head and I had to explain to him what my mom always told me, which is that the tooth fairy needs your teeth to put in new born babies mouths so they can grow teeth! This didn't work either. Long story short, tooth is now lost, we think in the couch somewhere.

Christmas

We had a great Christmas, surrounded by family visiting from afar. Santa came, we know because he ate the cookies and left a train table! We played the Wii till the wee hours of the morning, I tried the Wii Fit and learned I am 60 years of age according to my weight and height and balance abilities. I guess being pregnant doesn't help. It sure makes a great excuse to eat those extra Christmas goodies though! We are grateful for our Savior and for His example He has set for us to serve others. His humble birth reminds me of the simple things in life which are what are most valuable, not things but spending time with family, before they grow up. We hope everyone had an enjoyable and memorable Christmas and best of luck for 2010!
