Christmas Time 2021

-

This year we were able to go to the Oregon Gardens and sit with Santa. We saw the lights and my boys got super nervous about talking to Santa. Calvin came up to me right before and asked me if I thought he was good and if he could ask Santa for a VR game. I told him to go ahead. Ronin sat with him for awhile and was super embarrassed. He said he made a video for our elf and he would have to find out what he wanted for gifts from our elf Skyter. Ronin's list was pretty funny this year. He also made a note to capture his requests. He said on his note to Santa that he was 8 years old, even though he is only 6. He also wanted a VR and he heard you had to be 8 before you could own one. All Shelby wanted was legos, lots and lots of legos.

We went to the mountain and went sledding on Christmas Eve like we did last year. There was so much powder we could barely use our sleds. We mostly just played in the snow and took a few runs with the sleds. It was really fun and just what we needed.

Shelby can't decide if she believes in Santa or our elf anymore. But she giggles each time she finds the elf and she also left her ginormous Evee stuffy out with a note that said "fun to ride on" for Skyter. So she's on the fence but when nobody is looking I am pretty sure she still believes. 

We had our annual gingerbread party at my parents house in their garage. We had a blast as always. The kids definitely get more creative and have fun eating way too much candy.

Caleb played his cello at our church program and he did an awesome job. It was beautiful and he has practiced really hard for a month before hand. 

I went to see the Nutcracker one night because my friend had a role in it with her daughters.

June was the craziest month I have had in a long time. I am soooo glad it's July! Caleb almost didn't graduate on time and had to pay for summer term. He had one crown that he had to do twice because the lab kept messing it up. The school finally notified us three weeks after graduation that he was OK to graduate and could come checkout. We found out Caleb didn't pass his boards completely and now gets to fly down to California in August to re-do part of it. He has to fly two different patients down too with him, once he finds them. Hopefully he can find one patient that needs both procedures to help save costs. His job in Eugene didn't workout since he didn't pass his boards. They needed someone to start immediately, so they gave it to someone else. The company, Capital Dental, still considers him employed and is keeping his contract. So he still has work, we just have no idea where it will be right now. Hopefully it will be somewhere close to this house we j

Calvin had a bad day

I got a call at work from Krista, the lady who watches my kids. She said Calvin fell and hit his lip and probably needed stitches. I picked up my purse and ran out of work as quick as I could. I was on hold for 15 minutes trying to reach his doctor, which was aggravating. But once they answered I was at Krista's door and could see what was going on. Calvin was playing in a bedroom, tripped, and fell onto the frame of the bunkbed. Which is metal by the way. The sharp edge of it too. Poor kid always falls, but usually it's the forehead that gets the brunt of it. This time it was his lip. The upper part of his gums really. You can see most of the cut here: We finally reached his doctor and took him in. They didn't give him stitches even though it was still bleeding. It's been 8 hours now and it still bleeds when he talks, eats or drinks anything. It has not stopped him from doing his sound effects for cars and trucks so he spits blood everywhere. Of course, I wore
