Tooth Fairy Comes to the Hausen's

Well, I can add another job description to my resume. Elena had a wiggly tooth for about 2 weeks. She loved it. Every night she would talk about it and want me to pull it out for her. But when I would try she would Chicken Out! I had to explain to her that bleeding for this cause, was in fact, good for her. And here is the sad part. Don and I can already tell she is going to need braces. I am not talking about for a few months, it will probably be for a long time. Poor kid! She got that from her aunts and uncles. I had braces for an over bite. I only had to wear them for a short time. Don has never had to have them. But on both sides, we have people with braces for YEARS! Here is a picture with Elena wiggling her tooth.She pulled the tooth out!

Potty Training?

Hyrum has really wanted to go potty. So I decided to at least let him try. Hey, it is not my carpet yet! We went to walmart and got him a potty. He loves it! It makes a song every time he wee wees. Even if he doesn't get it completely it will mean less accidents in our new house. He really is young to be potty training, but how can I tell him "no"! In these pictures he is on the potty and eating a corn dog. He decided to stick the corn dog on his finger instead of on the stick.
Alright, here is the background for this picture. I was doing a quick 10 minute pickup before Don got home. I thought I would clean the whole time with the kids helping. Hyrum started crying to get his diaper changed, and I called Adelyn to come help me. I tell Hyrum I will change him in just a minute and Adelyn comes running full speed and hits the doorway. Don walks in the house. Moral of the story is that picking up makes life worse! !)

I haven't had a lot of time to do fun things lately. We will be closing less then 2 weeks now and I am soooo busy. My picture taking has been on hold. I even got a new photo editing software and I haven't even tried to use it. I can't wait to get into the new house.

Christmas Nativity Spectacular

A stake down here puts on this great activity for families and friends. They decorate the church REALLY nicely and put hundreds of nativities in it. There are refreshments, an art project for kids, people and groups come and sing, a group nativity picture, the church's nativity video, and a story time for the kids(about the nativity). It is just great! But these first pictures are not about that. Don really wanted me to take this picture. I was kind of not wanting too. I remember having a picture that my family made fun of me for and this is a good one for Hyrum. I ended up ripping it and throwing it a way with nobody to stop me. Now I wish I had it! ;) I just can't help but laugh at it.
These are my favorite things right now about our new house.

Here are the pictures from the nativity event. Firstly, we got there way too early so we wasted time by going out to eat. The food was great and the company was better.
The kids just had to have a potty break after eating. So instead of enjoying the event they went to the bathroom first.
Here we are listening to someone play Christmas music and Adelyn finds a friend. Jaxon is dancing to the music and Hyrum, well I don't know exactly want he did. He just seemed to bob around and try everything. Play with Adelyn and her friend then go dance with Jaxon and then whine to me.
The art project was coloring a sticker nativity scene.
I put the sticker on Hyrum's nose and he did not take it off. I think he liked it there.
Jaxon decided that it was a cool fashion statement and followed suit.
Adeyln really wanted to be Mary in the picture. We had just watched the video and she was overjoyed to be Mary. Of course she thought it was to put on a show and not just a picture. We will have to put on the show as a family on Christmas eve.
The process to get them all ready was not so much fun. Hyrum wanted the angel clothes and the big shepherds cane.
Here is the end result and the last picture for today. I thought that would be fitting. I hope you all have a GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON!
