Big News

Brynn lost her first tooth! She also has 5 other loose teeth!! When she was a baby she didn’t have just one tooth come in at a time, she got 6 teeth all at once. She had fun looking at herself in the mirror.

Tori was in her bed, wondering what all the excitement was about so we HAD to go in & share the news with her. She liked holding the little tooth & looking at Brynn’s new smile. We all went upstairs together to show Dad. Of course we had to take pictures!
We put the tooth in a Ziploc bag & she stuck it under her pillow. We talked about the tooth fairy & how she is kind of like Santa Claus. She doesn’t come if we are awake. The next morning, Brynn came upstairs with a little disappointed face, holding up her baggie with the shiny tooth still there. “The tooth fairy didn’t come!” We hugged. Then like a little confession Brynn said, “I think I know why she didn’t come last night. It was because I didn’t go to sleep & she got too tired waiting for me.” We all agreed that was probably the reason. It was okay though because now she could take her tooth to school & show everyone!




This definitely called for a celebration. The next day we had our own family party all day since it was Friday. We went for a bike ride & took some fun pictures.



















That night when it got dark we went to the straw maze. We had a blast together. There was a small one for kids & then the big one for adults & families. We made it through! It really was a great night. We ended it with hot chocolate & a Halloween movie all snuggled up in sleeping bags for a slumber party.

Looks like fun, I love Brynns new smile. Halloween activities are great - but the only way we make it through the corn maze is by cheating. About 5 min. into it we start taking "short cuts" through the rows of corn. Makes it adventurous :)

Aaron tried to convince me that the tooth fairy wasn't real when he lost one of his teeth. I told him that if he didn't believe, the tooth fairy wouldn't come. That night, Mom and Dad forgot.

Congrats to Brynn on losing her first tooth! Jenna has lost quite a few, but the adult ones are being so slow to grow in! I love your fall pics, they are adorable.
