Choking

the tree's up, the decorations are out, santa is frantically crafting and buying, and we'd all love some snow, not the cold!  ben came in late tonite from a custom job hauling corn.  i let the kids wait up for him and have fhe.  i helped bentley give the lesson on the nativity.  i realized last nite at the 1st pres. devotional, he is old enough to understand the true meaning of christmas, and i have loved this time to teach him all about it!  put them all to bed at 9, and of course, on cue, i hear from bridon...who then stirs up emerson, while bentley just chills and is about to crash into dreamland.  bridon is yelling for me to come back to his room and take his stuffed lamb, elliot's, collar off because he is choking.  not bridon, the lamb.  and he is totally serious.  in other news, friday, december 2nd, we got our first egg!  ben put a heat lamp out there and they've started cranking 'em out.  i didn't buy any eggs today at costco.  bentley found 3 more tonite, so i think we're officially in the egg business.  emerson can say her name, emry...but she says 'emmy.' she is getting her 2 year molars and she is both grouchy, loose on the bowls, and inDE-pendent!  i don't know how she finds every marker in the house to write on everything, but she does.  bentley told ben he wished he could be in a wheelchair cause everyone is so nice to you and you get pushed everywhere (he has a girl in his class in one).  ben asked him if he didn't like walking and he said, oh i would walk most of the time.  these guys crack me up!
