Matt's Two Front Teeth

Matt came to us this past weekend with two loose teeth, right in front!

He wanted Paul to help pull them out--he was anxious for the tooth fairy to come!

Success--the tooth was out after some wiggling and pulling!

And two nights later, Paul helped pull out the other!  Matt's looking good now!

8 WEEKS!

We have started the countdown to our little one's arrival!  Right now she is scheduled for March 12, which is a couple weeks early due to her being my 4th c-section.  I will go in for an amniocentesis earlier that week to make sure her lungs are ready and then hopefully all will be ready for her to arrive Thursday morning!  So, toss up a few prayers that she (and we) will be ready to go--we're getting very anxious to meet our littlest princess!

Goodbye Mullet!

Halle has beautiful red hair, but she also doesn't have too much, except for the mullet in the back!  Aunt Kelsey gave Halle her first haircut by trimming it all up so it looks nice and neat!  Thanks Aunt Kelsey!

10 Years!

(The two of us on our wedding day)

Paul and I also celebrated our 10th anniversary on December 28.  It's amazing to think how quickly the time has gone by until I look at our kids and see all that we've done the past 10 years! How grateful I am for a wonderful husband who takes care of us all--what a blessing to know that we are sealed for eternity and that all that we accomplish together makes us a stronger family.  

(Ten Year Anniversary)

Cousin Eddie...

is stalking the Bunting family.  He showed up last Christmas Eve and decided to return this year. Heather and Troy even got him his own moose mugs for the eggnog...

Like Clark Griswold, we didn't realize he was going to stay overnight until we walked in Christmas morning to find this...

We couldn't have been more surprised if we'd woken up with our heads stapled to the carpet.  Looks like he's comfortable and he'll be pulling out in his RV next month only to return again next Christmas.  We can't wait!

Christmas Wrap-Up

Christmas is magical with three little ones in the house--they are so excited about everything and the season still holds so much wonder for them!  Matthew and Afton heard Santa on the roof.  Matt reported that he heard Santa land and take off about 5 times in the wind.  He also said that he heard the reindeer and they sound like a cross between a sheep, pig, and a cow?!  The way he describes it, they also sound a lot like the 30 mph winds whipping across the house that night!  We loved being able to spend Christmas with our families--there is so much going on that it feels like we have to leave just after we got there.  Thanks to all who hosted and helped during all the celebrations!

Family Happenings

We have been busy the last month and didn't have time/energy to post about our family.  We'll do a quick catch up now!

Happy Anniversary tomorrow to Granny Kate and Grandpa Walker!  We love you and wish you the best on another year!

Also a very exciting day for the whole family--happy anniversary and happy sealing day to Sarah and Andrew who celebrated their 5th anniversary and also had their son Joshua sealed to them on December 27th!  It was such a great experience for us and we're so glad that we got to share it with them!

Happy 1st Birthday to Cousin Jeffery (he's the little one!) on December 22!  We were traveling on his big day and traveling with 3 kids can be a bit overwhelming!  It was so fun to see Jeffery at Thanksgiving and see how much he has grown since this summer!
