Week in Review..

On Tuesday Haley participated in her schools spelling bee. She made it to the final round and ended up placing 5th! She did great! She beat out almost all of the 8th graders, there was only one left and she was the one that won! Haley went out with the word counterfeit, she spelled it counterfit and immediately knew that she had it wrong, dang! The only thing I don't like about spelling bees is that they don't tell you how to spell the word RIGHT if you get it wrong, they just ding a bell and you're left wondering how you spelled it wrong. She totally relived my dream of being in a spelling bee ever since the 5th grade when I was in my spelling bee and went out in the first round because I got cocky and spelled FLAG, FALG and when they dinged the buzzer I was like what??!! How could I spell Flag wrong?? So she redeemed me and will have to try again next year to win it all!! haha!

All Jacob wants for Christmas is his two front teeth! He lost both two front teeth this last week! Apparently he had a big tooth already growing in right behind the baby tooth because he doesn't look as toothless as I thought he would:)

We received two visitors from the North Pole this week, their names are Christmas Eve and Snowflake. Everyday is like Christmas for Ashlyn and Jacob, waking up to try and find the elves and what mischief that they got into during the night. Last night they spilled jingle bells all over the table and were hiding up high on a shelf.

Jacob was so cute and drew this Elf for his Christmas Eve Elf. Complete with little boots and a cute hat!
