Hailey's first visit

from the Tooth Fairy!

Hailey's bottom front teeth have been loose for a bit now. When I took her for her check up over the summer, her dentist told me that they were getting loose. One of them was a little more wiggly than the other one, but it wasn't really getting "loose." I was surprised one day to look in her mouth and see that her permanent tooth was popping up behind her baby tooth. It kind of freaked me out, so I called Dr. Beth right away. She said it was pretty common, and I should bring her in to have it "wiggled out." UGH. For those of you that know me, you know that I highly dislike the dentist, so I didn't really care for the thought of Hailey having to have a tooth "wiggled out." Let's be honest. We all know that that is a nice way to say "extracted," or "pulled!"

Hailey was a champ for the entire visit, though. She made me proud. They gave her some strawberry scented nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and she was really relaxed the whole time. Dr. Beth pulled the tooth out super quick, and the whole procedure only took a few minutes.

Afterwards, we went shopping at the American Girl store so Hailey could spend some of her Christmas money on some things for her dolls! She was really excited to get things set up for the tooth fairy! She put her tooth in her tooth fairy box, and then put it under her pillow that night. She was delighted to see that the tooth fairy made a visit to her room overnight. She even left some purple fairy dust on her window sill, and on her nightstand! And, Hailey was thrilled to see that in place of her tooth was a folded up $5 bill!

Broncos Game

Tony and I went to the Broncos game the day after Christmas. Despite the fact that this is one of the worst teams in franchise history, they pulled out a come-from-behind win that day! We were sitting in the corner part of the end zone, 6 rows from the field. And, lucky for us, all of the end of game action was on our side of the field! We watched Buckhalter score one touchdown... followed by Tim Tebow running in to tie the game!

After the extra point was good, the Broncos had the lead. Luckily, the defense came through and intercepted the Texans last attempt to win the game! It was so exciting, and so much fun to be there! I thought this was funny! They have had so few wins this season, they called it a

"Christmas Miracle!"

Tony usually makes it to a few games every season, but he never takes me along... Hopefully I will get the chance to go a game next year as well!
