Of course life happened in between our #dicksondailythanks so here are a few other highlights from the month:

5th: We visited the Hogle Zoo with Chelsea and Zoey and although there were literally snowflakes falling on and off, we had a great time! We got to see so many animals up close and enjoyed the time together.

6th: We had our first little snow at our house! The kids got out in their snow clothes and their favorite thing to do when it snows is jump on the trampoline! That night we took the kids for pizza and then to "Color me Mine" to paint and they loved it.

7th: We celebrated Cason's b-day. It was an "Inside Out" party and I didn't get any pictures but it's no mystery how much my kids LOVE Cason and love living by their cousins!

The kids have been riding their bikes absolutely every chance they get! They both got new bikes last month and they LOVE riding. They are becoming really great riders.

11th: Had our first big snow at our house! This was Maverick's first time to get out in the snow and he wasn't quite sure what to think! But he lasted a little while.


13th: I took the kids to go see "Home Alone" in the movie theaters for it's 25th anniversary. Unfortunately the movie player was having issues and the movie started cutting out and had to be stopped. Lucky for us I discovered I had bought the DVD from the $5 bin and we owned it at home! So we finished it the next day and the kids have been asking to watch it ever since. They think it's hilarious and Caitlin the other day called someone (jokingly) a "filthy animal" which made me laugh really hard. And glad that THAT was what she picked up on out of the movie and not other things! (They always seem so innocent in your memory and then you watch movies with your kids and realize how many things are in there you never noticed before!)

10th: went with a few friends to the dinosaur museum! It ended up being a freezing cold day so we were happy to be doing something fun indoors!

13th: I got to go decorate the Walker's home for Christmas. I have decorated their home for about 6 years now. I love doing it and getting in the Christmas mood and using my talents. Also my parents were in town for a quick weekend trip to attend a wedding.


14th: I decorated the Lewis' home in preparation for Christmas and also the wedding I am helping with. We also went to the tree lighting at Traverse Outlets, which has the largest real tree in Utah.




18th: The kids went to the dentist to get all their cavities filled. Yup, more than one on each of them. They were awesome at the dentist and even Nolan did so well. Now we will be stating from a clean slate and hopefully no more for a long time!!

19th: Grandma and Grandpa Dickson were in town and we had a fun time going with them to visit the Gottfredsons and Great Grandpa Dickson. We all helped to rake a huge pile of leaves and the kids loved playing in them.


20th: Baby Reese was born! Rebekah had a very fast labor, I almost missed it! But I was so glad that I made it and was able to be there for the birth. It is always such an amazing experience to see a baby be born. Reese is an adorable baby and has some really great parents. We are happy to have another baby niece!

21st: The kids got to come meet Reese and of course they were enamored.



28th: We came back from St. George and woke up the next morning to a bunch of snow! We took the RZR out and pulled the sled behind it and it was a blast!
