Dentist Today

**UPDATE**

Morgan came through her dental visit today with flying colors. Once they started working on her the dentist thought he was going to have to put a crown on, but thankfully he didn't have to. He said she cried just a little when they gave her shots in both legs to administer the sedation, and he told me he had to answer about a thousand questions :), but a little over an hour after they started she was done. He said she was a perfect patient, and she earned herself a BIG prize. I am so thankful that she had a decent experience today. The only thing she remembers is that the dentist gave her shots! Let's hope this is our last trip to the dentist for a long time.

Just look at those adorably chubby cheeks :)

Angel of God, Morgan's Guardian Dear, to whom God's love commits her here, ever this day be at her side, to light and guard and rule and guide.

Please say a prayer for Morgan this morning. She is going into the dentist at 7:30 to be sedated and have six cavities filled. Mommy's a nervous wreck.

December 25-31, 2010

There were a ton of things going on the last week of 2010. We did so much and took so many pictures. Rather than repost everything here, I invite you to go to our family website and scroll back into 2010 and see what we were up to!

2011 will bring a lot of exciting things for Morgan including:

--her 5th birthday!
--KINDERGARTEN
--A transatlantic flight and 3 weeks in Europe

We are all excited about what the new year will bring for us. Stay tuned to see what Morgan is doing!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! May Christ be with you today and into the new year.

Love,

The Tenneys

Cooking with Mutti

Morgan and her Mutti hit the kitchen earlier this week to make some Christmas goodies. Morgan made her Mutti's apron (with the embroidery and crafty help of Nannie), and Morgan's apron was a gift from her new friend Maggie (22 month old daughter of Mama's friend Jennifer Tate). She had a good time working with Mutti and scooping the candies out on to the tray.

Success!

After three years of pleading with Morgan to sit with Santa, smile, and actually SIT next to Santa, this year we have had success! Morgan hopped right up with the Man in the Red Suit with no reservations. When she was asked what she wanted Santa to bring her, she said "I don't know" WHAT?!?! This kid has changed her mind about one thousand times, now she doesn't know what she wants? Oh well, I guess that means whatever she gets she'll be happy with, right?

As Christmas nears, Morgan is getting anxious to open the presents under the tree. I keep reminding her that not only are we opening presents, but we are celebrating Jesus' birthday as well. I am trying to keep the focus where it should be, but I must admit that my 4 1/2 year old is focused on what she can see....the pile of presents under the tree! Oh well...I know deep down she knows that Christmas is about Christ, it's just hard when there are brightly wrapped surprises begging to be opened.

Morganisms

Here are a few of Morgan's current sayings:

Instead of: Move your meat, lose your seat.
Morganism: Lose your seat, lose your butt!

Instead of: You shocked me (as in static electricity)
Morganism: You specked me!

Mama said: "Gosh you are nosy!"
Morgan: Who's Nancy?

Mama said: "I haven't seen him in eons!"
Morgan: Who's Leon?

Daddy said: "If you would listen Daddy wouldn't have to put you in time out, would he?"
Morgan: My name's NOT Woody.

Today she said "The way I am is the way I am". How profound.
