SmackDown

I rounded up and herded all the kids to the dentist today for a check-up.
Even Kean.
His abbreviated check-up was more like a WWF Smackdown.
I think it was all the poor dentist could do to keep from getting chomped on.
I'm happy to report both sides survived and it was a tie.
(The pic is of Reese-- I was wrestling with Kean and am not sufficiently
talented enough to hold him down and take a picture).
  We got the coolest box in the mail yesterday-- from the Leavitt cousins in Texas.
Well, really it's from Aunt Rachel-- my uber talented sister-in-law.
Yep, she's one of those women-- you know, creative, fun, smart, talented.
She sent us that black and white box at the back of the table full of
padded envelopes.  It's the "Snail Mail Family Ties Game"...
designed to keep cousins who live much too far away from each other
close and in constant contact.
 Each month we are supposed to follow the directions in the envelope
and send whatever we are assigned to do to the cousins in Texas.
They are doing the same (but sending it to the cousins in Idaho).
 For January, we were told since it's after all the excitement of Christmas,
we were to make good, old-fashioned paper snowflakes to send brightness
and cheer  their way!
 We all got a bit carried away and had so much fun making little paper gems.
 We can't wait to see what February holds...
and March and April and May and....
