9 days until Christmas. . .

Before we know it, we're going to be on the road heading back to Wisconsin for Christmas. We're taking off on Christmas day. Can't wait!!!

Well, our dental appointments went good. No cavities for any of us! It was, as we predicted, pretty traumatic for Bella to go back there by herself. After it was all over, it took a while to calm her down. I think we won't be taking her back to the dentist for at least a year and we'll probably insist on going back with her next time.

Here's a relaxed Bella! We've had a lot of indoor days this week as the weather has been pretty icky. Doing a little leisurely reading.Playing with her new magnadoodle (which she refers to as her "draw").Going up the slide at Chick-Fil-A. She loves slides and there's always a lot of drama involved when it's time to leave. This day was no exception. Playing on the "big bed" as she calls it. Admiring the ornaments and lights on the tree.Bella has had somewhat of a 'cranky' week. I'm not sure if it's just her age and she's exerting herself more or if she isn't feeling well, but she's just been more edgy and quick-to-tantrum. She's been sleeping in a lot, which makes me think that she's going through a growth spurt. Last night, she woke up crying a few times. I'm starting to think that her second set of molars are working their way in. I tried to feel around for them and couldn't find anything, so I guess we'll just wait and see.

Over the past few weeks, we've had speculation of a slight mouse problem in the house. We never saw a mouse, but had a few missing red hots on our Christmas cookies that led us to the conclusion. They were our invisible guests until we saw this tiny little critter scampering across the kitchen counter. It was tiny and kind of cute. We both had compassion on it and didn't want to hurt it. Andy tried to catch the little guy but it got away and ran through a hole in the laundry room. At least we know how they're getting in! Looks like we've got a hole to plug.
