Another Lost Tooth
This one wasn't expected! Oliver was playing at a bouncy house place today and knocked his front tooth loose. We called the dentist and left a message. When I was talking to him (about an hour and a half later), Oliver announced, "It just come-ded [came] out, Mommy!" The dentist said that there isn't anything we can do about it and we will just need to wait for the permanent tooth.

Lost Teeth
Henry has lost both of his top front teeth. We are enjoying his new smile, knowing that it is only a matter of time before the big teeth grow in and change his little boy smile forever.
Star Wars Room
After years of cars and trucks and trains, the boys were ready for a new look in their bedroom. We repainted their walls (Pigeon Gray from Benjamin Moore), and decorated with a Star Wars theme.
I didn't take a picture of the new rug, which is a gray shag runner between their beds. We also have a framed Star Wars movie poster hanging over Oliver's desk, but that corner was kind of messy, so I didn't want to take a picture. It's not that exciting, though.
Here's a before picture (from a couple of years ago, but more or less the same as a few months ago!)
We got this idea here.
We repainted their coat hooks and hung their Star Wars masks for decoration.
We bought the decals and blinds from ebay.
I sewed the bedding from sheets I bought on Overstock.com.

Christmas 2011
We had a wonderful Christmas almost two months ago! For whatever reason, I have put off making this entry. I get a little overwhelmed with the number of pictures from the holidays and then, next thing you know, it is February 18th!
So, this might not be the best blog post ever, but at least it will be done. :)

Oliver's Christmas Show
On Friday, Oliver performed in his daycare center's Christmas program. Oliver was in the chorus, which sang six Christmas songs! I was pretty impressed with how well the children learned their lines and the words to the song, considering that the performers were all three and four years old.
Here is the video of the performance. I didn't have the best angle--Oliver is the third child from the left. He has the letter "R" of "Christmas" on his sweatshirt.
Here is Oliver just after the performance:
The performance was followed by a Christmas party, and Santa came!

Which reminds me that I got so carried away with Oliver's handsome-ness the other day, I neglected to post the pictures that I took when the boys saw Santa at Bass Pro Shop. So, here they are:
Finally, here are two videos of Oliver practicing his singing at home:

King of Handsome
Yesterday, the boys took a bath and got all dressed up to go visit Santa. Oliver looked in the mirror and said, "I am the King of Handsome!"
Here he is with his slightly more modest (but equally handsome) brother.
Thanks for the new outfits, Grandma and Grandpa Jennings!
