December 2016

Some things that went on this month:

Dec 1- Mom's Birthday
Dec 3- Nicole & Cody's birthday
Dec 6- Parent helper in Kimbri's kindergarten class
Dec 10- Mapleton 14th Ward Christmas party, made Christmas sugar cookies, Emma Wilkinson's birthday party, Rick got back from Kentucky right at the end of the Christmas party!
Dec 21- Relief Society Christmas lunch. We had baked potatoes, salad and cheesecake. It was really fun to go to this activity with the RS and get to know some sisters better. I love being in primary but sometimes I feel super out of the loop, so I really enjoy RS activities.
Dec 23- Shopping with Olivia, Stone Christmas Party, cereal game (everyone brought a box of cereal and then you hid them all under a blanket in the middle and went around and took one without looking and went home with a different box of cereal), made mugs at the family party
Dec 25- Christmas! Played the piano for the primary and was a part of the ward choir (Christmas Eve and Christmas are getting their own blog post).

Rick was also in and out of town for residency interviews. He has gone all over the county during the last part of November (Chillicothe, OH), tons of places in December (Searcy, AR - Dec 2, Fayetteville, NC - Dec 7,  Weatherford, TX - Dec 13, Lake Cumberland, Kentucky - Dec 15, Las Cruces, NM - Dec 19) and will have a couple more interviews in January (Sierra Vista, AZ and Cottonwood, AZ). He also went to Palm Springs, CA somewhere in there but forgot when that one was. It was such a crazy schedule during these months!

Brenna at the dr office!

Reading all the books... 

The blueberry thief!

Kimbri's hair is getting sooo long!

At DI we saw this desk and the kids were
being so hyper and wanted me to watch
because, "They were on TV!" and they wanted
me to watch their show, haha!!!

At the ward Christmas party! Garrett was soooo excited to see Santa. But then when it was time to actually go see him and talk with him, he wanted nothing to do with him! Brenna was super scared too so we only have pictures of Kimbri with Santa this year...

Chowing down on a Christmas sugar cookie.

Her new favorite thing to do.

Brenna is getting good at folding her arms
for prayers!

Saw these fellas on our drive home from church.

Brenna loves lining everything up on the bathtub edge.

2 day till Christmas and she just begged to
sleep out by the tree!

Lincoln Logs. I love those as a kid!

She loves the fingernail polish she gout from Gma & Gpa Haycock

Saying goodbye to the Christmas tree.

These two somehow made it all the way till midnight for New
Years Eve. We played games and watched movies over at
Grandma and Grandpa Haycock's house. They were so proud
of themselves :)
