Lately

Here's what we've been up to:

1. Chuck E Cheese:

So being a germ-a-phobe, you probably would think that Chuck E Cheese is one place I would certainly avoid. However, when it is 6 degrees outside (luckily, that is WITH the wind-chill at this point of the year), we've got no other choice for evening activities. Whitney loves this joint. Maybe it's the smell of greasy pizza, or the sound of you literally throwing your money away into tiny slots. I'm not sure. Either way, she loves the rides, the games and the hectic noise. Not a place you want to be if you are prone to migraines.

2. Gymnastics: Whitney can't get enough of this class. Here she is just this past Friday, enjoying her last class of the 2010 year. She can walk across the beam all by herself. I'm so proud.

And she LOVES taking the class with friends.

2. Christmas festivities:

Although you wouldn't know it by my lack of posting, Christmas is in full force around these parts. Here we are at the ward Christmas party. Whitney has this love/hate relationship with Santa. She loves him from a LOOOONG distance, but not so much up close.

What do I love?

That really lovely sweater Bart is wearing.
3. Being with Daddy:

We enjoy as much time with Bart as possible. He just finished his last set of finals for Dental School and is now studying for his fourth-year boards. So when he's home with us, it's a real treat. Whitney LOVES her Daddy. Every morning when she walks into our bedroom she says, "Where's Daddy?"

The answer: (Either) "School or studying"

Lately she's been blowing me kisses and saying, "Bye! I'm going to school!"
