We celebrated Jen's birthday at my parents' tonight. Everyone pitched in and got her a Kitchen Aid mixer. She was very happy and we were so happy to be able to replace her old mixer that she had broken.

The kids and I have been wanting to decorate the house for Christmas for days. I told the kids the house had to be cleaned first. I don't see the point in putting Christmas up in a dirty house. So I spent a good portion of both Thursday and Friday cleaning and while daddy was at work today, we brought all the boxes up and got started. It took almost all day but we were done and took the empty boxes back downstairs before the end of the day. Mission accomplished.

Happy birthday to the best sister ever! I love my sister and simply don't know what my life would be without her in it. She is the most thoughtful, loving, caring, and giving person I know. I am so thankful that we are best friends in addition to being sisters. I hope she had a happy happy birthday.
On her birthday, I was finally able to get furniture in Ricki's room and somewhat arrange it. I still need to clean and bring in the rocking chair but otherwise, her room is complete. We'll just have to push it all to the center of the room when we finally paint the walls. :)

I am so thankful that my face waited until after Simon's work party to blow up like a balloon. It's a little hard to tell in pictures but the left side of my face (so the right side in the picture) is about double in size. I kinda freaked out about it and called the Endodontist but he said that it was pretty normal. He did, however, put me on a different antibiotic just to be safe. I stayed home all day!

Simon went with the kids to their STEM (career) Day. He took a money counter and worksheets and had a blast with the kids. Tonight, Simon & I went to a fancy work Christmas party at Tucano's then came home to find these elves on our porch. We were elfed! It's just a fun tradition our neighborhood does at Christmastime. Thank you to whoever thought of our family! So fun!!

Instead of a root canal, I had oral surgery! The Endodontist decided that cutting my gums and removing the drill bits from the top would be easier and more effective than trying to go in like a normal root canal. 2 hours, lots of laughing gas, and 5 stitches later... They did remove all 3 drill bits successfully and cleaned out the fluid pocket that is eating away my bone.
Top Picture: Obviously still feeling the affects of 2 hours of laughing gas and pleasantly numb from the Novocain.
Bottom Picture: Lying on the couch in pain, putting on and taking off a cold compress every 10 minutes to hopefully reduce the swelling. Miserable.
