Brent's not "over the moon" about them, but eats them.

Dallin puts one on his plate, just so he's got something to back him up at dessert time.

Britton: "Not me like them."

Cameron is cautiously optimistic, and enjoyed a few.

Elizabeth wants to like them. She's tried them several times, but just can't do it.

Kenley and I think they are divine.

Brussel Sprouts. I eat them like candy.

A Nail Fairy???

Britton trapped his finger in the car door a few weeks ago.

When it fell off my children inquired about a "Nail Fairy."

"You know, like the tooth fairy," they said.

(Monetary gain was their motivation)

I considered it for a moment.

Then I thought to myself, first the nail fairy, then what?

"Nope, no nail fairy guys!!"

A little advice

A plastic GERBER baby food lid taped over the

OFF switch with thick packing tape will

deter a baby from switching the T.V off.

But not for long.

While Big Brother is at School.....

Britton "SHARES" Dallin's legos.

Because everyone knows that the toys you're told

you can't have are much more appealing.

Introducing....

The first ever Spurgeon to not "freak out"

when placed on Santa's lap.

Britton was more than happy to tell Santa his Christmas wish,

"A firetruck."

Second letter

My children were so disappointed when school was cancelled yesterday due

to bad weather.

They LOVE school.

We received a postcard in the mail yesterday from Dallin's teacher. During this month of December when we are more aware of others and showing greater love and concern, this note made me especially grateful.

This is just a quick note to let you know

that Dallin was chosen as student of the

month for December based on the

attributes of caring and compassion.

I am very proud of the work he

contributes and the attitude he brings

to class each day. Super work, Dallin!

Mrs. B

We are so proud of Dallin. He is the most conscientious 10 year old boy ever. He NEVER leaves his room in the morning without making his bed and he is very kind and helpful with his younger siblings. Keep up the fantastic work.

Santa Adventure- the edited version.

It is almost Christmas. Santa is going to have a adventure by delivering presents.

When Santa comes to my house he is going to open the door
