Getting Festive

This week Hayden has started saying 'Please' (it's so cute!) and has also decided that spitting his tongue at people is an acceptable form of communication (it's not).  We have also done away with bottles!!  Well, mostly.  We got some sippy cups that he actually likes for the day time (the last ones I got he didn't like at all), and the bottles in his bed at night have more of a sippy cup nib that is soft still.  So no more baby bottle nibs!!  Yay!!!  Next step:  weaning off the pacifier.  That one may take longer.  And a more devious plan...

Brandon had a long work week again, so whenever he was home the kids were extremely excited to see him.  Sometimes that excitement gave way to extreme goofiness.

At Kylie's Pre-School this week I got to have the opportunity to read to her class!  I got to read a Christmas story (Jingle Paws) and it was lots of fun.  She was excited when I told her about it, but then when I dropped her off for school and started coming in with her she was upset and kept telling me to leave because that is what I normally do!  Haha she finally realized that I was just going to read a story and then leave and then she was ok again.

On Friday I made a little craft for her to do: a paper puppet Santa!  She had lots of fun making it.  On Saturday we also made a reindeer, and the reindeer turned out to be her favorite.

On Saturday we did our little family outing and went to see the lights and nativity at the temple.  We come every year and it has been fun.  This year the kids cared less about seeing the lights and more about the leaves.  They loved to pick up huge armfuls and throw them at each other.
