Check out our little elves!

Sophie Finally Looses her 1st Tooth--December 2, 2007

Sophie successfully ripped out her first tooth with a little prodding from her Dad. Here she is holding the specimen. I'm sure none of you can see it because it is so small. So small in fact that she only lost it 3 times before bed time. Lets just say there was a lot of drama that night and we were all glad when the tooth fairy finally came. Sophie told me she saw the tooth fairy's red bag that she puts all the teeth in and that the tooth fairy got tired and laid down next to her for a little while.

Winter Carnival--December 1, 2007

Every year the Mayo Families Association hold this great Carnival with games, food and Santa. The kids had a great time playing all the games. Mackay was a lucky boy. He correctly guessed how many tootsie rolls were in the jar and won a $15 Toys R US gift certificate and the jar of tootsie rolls. Lets just say he was feelin' lucky. I also won a $10 gift certificate. All in all it was a pretty great morning.

Spencer had a great time bowling and was amazed when they gave him candy afterward.

Mackay had a great first Pinewood Derby. Mackay and Danny worked really hard on his car and he won 1st place. He was so amazed. On the car ride home he looked at me and said "I still can't believe I won.".

Thanksgiving--November 22, 2007

The kids just love opening their gifts from Granny and Grandpa on Thanksgiving. We loved the Santa Ornaments and the kids had a great time writing letters to Santa. Thanks Mom and Dad. It was some great entertainment for them while I cooked. When Spence sees the Santa ornaments he says "HO HO HO". It's hilarious because it sounds like he has an Asian accent.

Science Museum

The kids had a day off of school so we ventured up to the Cities to go to the Science Museum. We went to the Pompeii exhibit, which was really cool. It is amazing what volcanic ash can preserve. Mackay and Sophie did a little DNA experiment with this guy that was a retired doc. They thought it was pretty cool stuff--and they got to dress up.
