Turkey, T-Rex, and Trains


So November was surprising quiet for us. We had a couple of visits to the dentist for cleanings plus some work done. Cameron had to have 5 cavities filled. His mouth is not able to get rid of those "bugs" that cause cavities. So now we are all trying a new technique that the dentist recommended to halt the cavities. After every meal we are chewing gum or sucking on mints that contain Xylitol. Please work!!!

Both boys were able to get their first dose of the H1N1 vaccine. Mommy had to look long and hard to get these. Now they just need another dose around Christmas and we hope that mommy and daddy will eventually qualify to receive them.

Cameron had over a week off of school for the Thanksgiving holiday. On Thanksgiving day we all headed to Grandma Judy and Grandpa Al's house for a few days away. We enjoyed a really yummy meal at Great Grandma Betty's house and got caught up with some members of the Sand family. Grandma and Grandpa now have a Wii and we all enjoyed playing it especially Cameron. On Friday, November 27th we went to the Stearns County History Museum to see the special exhibit "A T-Rex Named Sue". It was on loan from Chicago. She was a really huge dino.

We headed back home on November 28th and had a really busy day. We did some baking, decorated the house and tree, attended the Minneapolis Holidazzle parade and topped off the night by watching Its A Wonderful Life.

On Sunday, December 6th we went to Choo Choo Bob's train store in St. Paul to play with and watch all the great trains. Santa and Mrs Claus were there and the boys were able sit on Santa's lap and tell him their Christmas wishes. Kyle asked for trains and Cameron requested legos. Mrs. Claus gave each of them a Christmas activity book. Such a fun evening.
