December

Life in the Whidden home is still about the same. Kids in preschool. Alivia is taking swimming lessons and LOVES IT. Bauer has found his scowl and it is hysterical. Recently painted the upstairs and found a few new things at a new favorite store. The Hobby Lobby. Flying here and there, fortunately have only gotten stuck once so far because of snow. (Aspen, CO) 24 inches in 7 hours.
So Ben a pretty smart kid. Well one night as we were watching TV some coverage about the "cyclone" somewhere. (Unfortunately I don't remember.) I asked Ben? 'Is a cyclone a tornado over the water?' he said 'isn't a cyclone a hurricane over the water' ummm...... sure..... One of those times, that will be timeless.
December plans here and there for the Whiddens
3-3th- swimming lessons
14th-ward party (huge sigh of relief at 10:00pm that night)
