Christmas & Toothaches!

Hello all! 

Wasn't Christmas so grand!?! I love this time of year. I love decorating my apartment every year and just lighting candles. I am such a dork but I just LOVE this time of year! 

But most of all... it could never be Christmas without my Mom's homemade cinnamon rolls, famous caramels and her recent addition, salted chocolate (which is to die for). 

So for Christmas this year I wanted to do something REALLY special for Amanda & Robin since I could actually afford it.  I have a Tiffany & Co. bracelet that I just love, and I thought how awesome it would be to get each of them the same bracelet. Something simple yet nice, not too flashy... it was the PERFECT gift. They both loved it and tonight at the house, I noticed they were both wearing the bracelet which made me a little bit happy inside. 

As usual Christmas morning does not come without it's giggles with us... Amanda graced us with her wrapping paper box accordian... 

All the clothes David got as gifts he decided to put on...even his compression shorts ontop of 3 pairs of basketball shorts and pajama pants... 

It was truly incredible how he could sing an whole octave higher!

The kittens are growing up FAST and they are so hilarious. They are just jumping around on top of each other and chasing one another around the condo. They are a fun distraction. My Mom & I are convinced they  all look the same, you literally can not tell a difference between the 3 of them. They would be so fun to keep, but I refuse to be the crazy cat lady. A lady who I used to nanny for has offered to take all 3 of them plus GussGuss. I think GussGuss is more of an outdoor cat and would LOVE being out on this farm in Fall City, WA. 

They are cute...

 Until they show off their mountain climbing skills...

As a few of you know from Facebook, I had mouth surgery yesterday. In the car accident when I hit my head on the steering wheel I shattered my back right tooth, the last one, #31. I was on some medications that would not allow me to have oral surgery due to the fact that my blood would not clot. So as time passed by I forgot about the tooth. Then when I was flying back from LA, as the plane landed and I was reaching for my bag down by my feet, so was the gentleman sitting next to me and he elbowed me right in the jaw, where that tooth was. Without any warning tears started streaming down my face. GREAT. He apologized over & over, I figured the pain would just go away. Not so much. I get into the dentist to find that there was 23% of my tooth left and that shards of tooth somehow ended up down below the tooth and was embedded in the nerve. I could have surgery the very next day but due to complications the next opening for the OR was Monday. Popping Advil and painkillers like candy, by Christmas Eve I was in so much pain I didn't know what to do. NOTHING was cutting out the pain and I couldn't eat. On Sunday night I called up my regular dentist who met me at 8pm at his office and wrote me a stronger prescription for pain killers. I have equated waiting for pain killers to kick in to a slow and painful death. No doubt! So yesterday within 45min the oral surgeon yanked the tooth out and sewed back the nerve. Hallelujah! So for the next few days it's smoothies and yogurt!

Well that's all for now!
I'm sure more exciting things will happen that I will have to post about...but for now me and my stitched up mouth are going to bed. 

Love you all!
