On the eve of Christmas Eve Eve, Alissa discovered a very loose tooth during her evening teeth brushing. Is that enough eves for you? We tried to get her to wait until Christmas Eve to pull it out...wouldnt it be awesome if the tooth fairy AND Santa came in the same night!? We thought so, but she was afraid the tooth would fall out during her sleep and she would swallow it! (: After so much anticipation, and a long patient wait, Alissa decided having a loose tooth ready to come out, wasnt all she hoped it would be. Nervousness took over and her emotions got the best of her as the waterworks started.
Trying to be brave... 
It took little effort with a little tug and the tooth came right out. That wasnt so bad, right? There it is! Alissa wasnt ready to look in the mirror yet, but she tried to muster up a smile.
It only took a minute or two until she was all smiles. 
Proud of her tooth.
It shouldnt be long until the one next to it is ready to come out as well. Today she actually looked in the mirror and said, "I think I look cute!" Im glad that ended well. With Alissa, you never know!

I'm proud of her first loose tooth too. Sometimes they don't come out as easy as others! Is neat she got a dollar and a half for it. Ha - I got one dime for every tooth when little girl - but it used to could buy 2 candy bars. (Good thing we had a tooth brushing chart too) I also think she looks cute and her new tooth will be even prettier! Ahhh! If her tooth come out earlier in Dec. I'd put in the dental update of Christmas Letter LoL!!
Merry Christmas!!
I think some time losing a tooth can be very traumatizing. It is one of those life lessons. It's not what it's all cracked up to be. I'm glad that she was able to enjoy the experience after the tooth was out. Losing a tooth is like right of passage for kids. Now she has a very cool tooth story to tell. Not very many kids loose a tooth on Christmas eve.
