Happy Thanksgiving!

I had a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at Ben and Connie's last weekend, and today Brig and I went to his Grandma's. A lot of the Dunn Family was there to celebrate. Brig's brother Jared made some fantastic pies, I brought veggies and dip. I have found a new love for sweet potatoes, especially when they are made with a brown sugar topping...Yum! Whitney even tasted some mashed potatoes, jello, bread and some pumpkin pie. There were so many different kinds of food there that we didn't have room to try them all, but what we did eat was delicious. We left stuffed and happy.

Twilight- loved it!

I went down to Cedar City, UT to see the movie Twilight with my sister-in-law Connie. She introduced me to the book two summers ago. Since then, I have read Twilight to myself and then a second time to Whitney when she used to take a half hour to nurse. I know it's written for 15 year old girls, but I couldn't help it. Anyway, I loved the movie and want to go see it again before it leaves the theaters!!

Snowbaby

We woke up Wednesday morning to our first snow of the season. Later that morning I bundled Whitney up and took her outside to make a snowman and take a picture. Our snowman actually turned out to be a snowbaby because he was so small. I was hard enough to roll a little ball of snow with one hand, while the other held Whitney. We didn't get all fancy on the lil' guy by giving him a carrot nose or a top-hat(he was just too small) so I hope you can tell it was a snowbaby. At first Whitney was hesitant about touching the snow, but after she did, she looked at me me with a big smile.

This is my niece Cindy and her snowbaby that she made a few years ago. She kept it in the freezer so it would last longer. We didn't have room in our freezer, so sadly...our snowbaby has melted.

Honey Bunny Halloween

For Whitney's first Halloween we dressed her as our little Honey Bunny. We’ve called her Honey Bunny since she was really little, so we thought it would be a good Halloween costume. She was so cute with her ears and the lipstick on her nose to make it pink! I tried drawing whiskers, but Whitney wouldn’t hold still. Since I made her costume Friday afternoon, I didn’t have time to make myself anything, so I was a cat…again. We went to the ward trunk or treat so Whitney could experience getting candy. At first she didn’t know what to do, but by the end she was a pro. Since the costume was made in such a hurry, by the end of the night it was falling apart :(. Oh well, it looked cute on her anyway.
