Christmas dress

I am so behind! But I'm finally starting to catch up! This is Hannah's Christmas dress, which she loves. The whole time I was putting it on her she kept saying "Pretty! Pretty! Pretty!" Merry Belated Christmas, everybody!

Crib time

Hannah LOVES to play in her crib. But only when she has an audience, of course. But she is hilarious. She jumps like crazy and dives all over the crib, rolling and laughing and talking up a storm. It's not unheard of for her to go crazy in her crib for half an hour while one of us sits and watches from the rocking chair. She's such a goof.

Toy bin obsession

About a month ago, Hannah discovered that she could crawl into her toy bin. Apparently this is really fun because she does it all the time. She thinks it's hilarious. This also led to her learning the word "stuck"- I'm pretty sure you can figure out why for yourself.

Random Cuteness

As I was looking through my recent pictures, I noticed there were a bunch of random pictures that don't really have a reason or explanation, but they're so cute they need to be shared. So enjoy!

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, the Whitworth clan all drove up to Beaver's Bend State Park in Oklahoma and stayed in some cabins for a few days. Hannah had a wonderful time playing with her cousins and the food was awesome. I, however, had a terrible migraine that lasted ALL of Thanksgiving day, and then came back the next afternoon. As a result, we ended up leaving the night before everyone did. They gave me a pretty hard time about it, but I simply couldn't take any more and needed to go home. Nevertheless, I did actually manage to have a good time and I'm really glad we went.

Then Emery had to join in the fun. They almost look like triplets... creepy

Hannah loves Izzy!

They tried really hard to have a campfire, but the wood was just too damp. It was very disappointing.

Unfortunately, these are all the pictures I have. The next day was a great day for taking pictures, but of course, I pulled out my camera and it was dead. Typical. But anyway, the next day we all climbed in the vans and drove around. The park is really beautiful, and we were able to find a recreation area where we found a train through the woods and went for a ride. At the same place they also had horseback riding, which we all really wanted to do, but it was super expensive. Thankfully the kids were all really good and there weren't any melt downs over not being able to go for a ride. After the train, we played at a little park, and then found a spot on the river where we could play on the bank. They boys practiced their rock skipping abilities and the kids threw rocks in the water. It was a really fun morning! I really wish I'd been able to get some pictures!

Turkey Camp Out

Every year, our ward has a big campout the weekend before Thanksgiving, and they have a big turkey feast the next morning. Dan went for the camp out to help his dad, who was in charge of a lot of it, but Hannah and I stayed home in our nice warm beds and came up the next morning. I am NOT a fan of camping and had no desire to do so with a 16 month old, and it also got down into the 30s that night, which made the decision that much easier-NO THANK YOU!! But we had a lot of fun the next morning. There were horses to see, a nice hiking trail, delicious food, and great company. Dan's brother Curt, his wife Natalie, and their 3 girls came along for the fun, and Hannah enjoyed having them there to play with.

Neigh! Neigh!

Up close, Hannah was a little scared and not so sure she wanted to touch it.

Snuggle time!

"Ella, what are you doing??"

And back to say bye to the horses before going home
