The Best Thanksgiving

We had the best Thanksgiving this year. We deviated from family tradition and hosted Thanksgiving at our house in Camas for 15 family and friends (mostly my family). It felt so good to have my family at our house and wow did they help a lot. It made cooking for 15 seem like a piece of cake.

My mom and Hannah (my oldest niece) stayed the weekend with us until Sunday so that my mom and I could run the Hot Buttered Run in Vancouver. We had a very fun stay-cation weekend enjoying the holiday festivities in Portland. I loved, loved, loved having my mom and Hannah here.

Eva Lost Her First Tooth

Eva lost her first tooth today.

Eva diligently placed her tooth under her pillow and wrote this note to the tooth fairy. She was very concerned that the tooth fairy would not find her tooth/box or that it would fall off of her top bunk to Lila's bed and subsequently Lila would get the money. To counter act these worries she wrote her name boldly on the bottom of her box, tapped the box shut and wrote this note. It says, "Dear Tooth Fairy, This is my very first tooth. I want you to give me a dollar and five pennies please. Love, Eva"
