December Happenings

This December has been so Busy!!! I feel bad because we haven't done our usual advent calendar and all the fun that goes along with it. However I do plan to do it the week of Christmas. One week is better than nothing right? Hyrum does a lot of what you see above, be cute, sleep, poop, eat and repeat!

Emily on the other hand has turned into trouble. She has always been mischievous but its gotten a little out of hand lately. She colors on everything including herself! SHE CUT HER HAIR!!!! grrr. I was so mad! Thankfully it blends pretty well but we are still finding chunks of hair strung through out the house. One day I found her in my make up applying mascara to her forehead! The list goes on...

One nice Saturday morning Brigham had a Service Learning project to preform. The entire kindergarten cleaned up two local parks. We took all the kids to help out. They were all so excited to find trash. Leave it to my kids to come running with the heaviest thing possible. "mom look at all these junky bricks we found!"

And then there is more sleeping

 Emily has been having a fun time a preschool this month as they are making all sorts of crafts. She made this cute little snowman and was very proud of it! She also wrote her letter to Santa, what little girl doesn't need a girl fox?

We have been having great weather! So I took Hyrum outside to sleep as we watched Emily play.

Then there is this!? BRIGHAM LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!!!! It had been loose awhile and when I picked him up from school he said "mom, pull it out." So I did! It was the easiest tooth pull I have ever done. It was awesome and he was so proud.

I have started to slowly exercise again. On this particular day Emily rode 1.75 miles on that little bike. I was so proud and she barely complained!

 Then after all the sleeping eating and pooping he occasionally gets a bath and I cannot resist taking pictures of him. He is so stinking cute!

Thanksgiving 2015

Abigail made this thankful list at Activity days (I love the variety) 

This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our house for all the Whitworth clan. It was bit crazy but for the most part it turned out nice. With the kids mostly entertained with various activities it went well. The kids started by making Pilgrim masks. Nothing like a craft to keep a bunch of little girls entertained.

We had appetizers and waited for everyone to arrive. We had loads of food that was all very delicious and everyone did their part to make that happen. There was turkey, cranberry salsa, a veggie tray, stuffing, corn casserole, mashed potatoes, candied yams, green-bean casserole, rolls, frog eyed salad and lots of pies and brownies.  Not to mention this year we deep fried the Ham, yes the Ham. YUM.

Later we wanted to have a fire in the fire pit and have the kids make smores but alas we were rained out. But the kids did make turkey hats, decorated cookies, and played the Wii along with just regular cousin play.

All in all I think it was a success and a lot of fun!

Hyrum Joseph was also ready to cheer the cowboys to yet another loss :(

DinoStars

Just before Thanksgiving Abby  had her 3rd Grade musical program. This year was about Dinosaurs! She was so nervous. She does not like to perform in front of people (she takes after her mother.) But she did great. She sang all the songs and did all the motions. It was a cute program. Im pretty sure this is the first one Seth was actually able to attend since Preschool.
