Dance Day

Lily takes ballet and tap one day a week. She LOVES it!!! Don't know yet if it will be a chosen career for her, but for now, we think she is the greatest dancer around. :)
Parents are never allowed to watch the classes. But, on this particular Monday, her teacher had a special parents viewing day. Conn and I were so surprised at how well all the girls did. They never even payed attention to all the onlookers. There were no break downs and the class was so structured for a bunch of 4 year olds. This momma was very impressed.
Anyway, here are some pictures. We have tons of video...that was taken on our brand new video camera...that was bought to video Cash's birth...that we didn't even get to use...but that is a whole other story...and I have no idea how to even begin loading video's on here...so for now...pictures is what you get. :)


and...just for grins!

All Things Christmas

Christmas Tour of Homes
We have had our house decorated for Christmas since before Thanksgiving, but I am just getting around to posting these. Good thing we did, considering Cash came 2 weeks early! I had really good intentions of being a part of BooMama's Christmas Tour of Homes, but didn't quite make it in time. Oh, well. I'll just do my own little tour. :)

Come on in, y'all! The McWhorter door is always open!

Lily said everything must be looking at baby Jesus!!!

The girls made these with Mrs. Janet and Lindsay one night. We will forever cherish them! :)

Some of the many niches' in our home

What you will find us doing many days between 3 and 5 while all the kids are napping. Hey, you do what you have to do when living on 3 1/2 hours of sleep. :)

*****************************************************************
The Nutcracker
For my nieces birthday, my parents took the older grandchildren to see a local ballet production of The Nutcracker. They had a blast! Even Cade and Cole were good sports and attended right along with all the girls to help celebrate Carson's big day.


**********************************************************************
Small Group Christmas Party
Literally, the night we came home from the hospital with Cash, we met our Small Group for our annual Christmas party at Perry's Steak House. I know, I know...many thought we were crazy, but we couldn't let them party without us. :)

Girls School Christmas Parties

Maggie's class did a book exchange

YAY!!!

YUM!!!!

Lily's class decorated upside down ice cream cones to look like Christmas trees. So cute!!!

This was one of their bulletin boards. Being a former teacher, I thought it was very creative!
