White Christmas Day

 This year we had a White Christmas, what a great Christmas gift :) We had a VERY BLESSED Christmas. Santa made his stop leaving a DSIXL for each of the kids (yes, Bentley can play it, she got one last year, but they wanted big ones and the new red ones) karaoke machine, electronic drums, keyboard, DS games, stroller, TONS of Mario "stuff" TONS of Tinkerbelle "stuff" games, dolls, clothes, ect, etc.... Then we headed to Granny and Papas where they got more Mario and Tinkerbelle, Doll House, Guitar, Wii game, scooters, big wheels, bath toys, and more. After that we went to my step-dads mothers house where Carter got cars, trucks, and legos and Bentley got 3 baby dolls. That night we went to moms where they got a doll car seat, doll carrier, baby doll #21 (LOL) dance stuff, bows, and more. Carter got walkie talkies, shirt, shoes, fire station, trucks, and more. We all had a LONG, but fun day. Joseph and I got lots of stuff too :) Its easy to forget about yourself and get caught up in them .

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we went over to Josephs grandparents house for the kids to open thier gifts there. Carter got a block set that he LOVES, some books, and lincoln logs. Bentley got Princess stuff, books, and Lincoln Logs as well. Then we came home and made Gingerbread Cookies for Santa (Josephs first time making cookies with the kids, fun times :) We made a birthday cake for Jesus, then went outside to watch Santa ride down our street on the firetruck then headed to church.

Christmas Eve, Eve

Thursday my brother and sister-in-law were in town to celebrate Christmas so we went over to moms and ate lasagna and did Christmas with them. The kids loved thier stuff and had a great time playing.

Christmas at Grannys

Yesterday we went to Josephs grandmothers house to celebrate Christmas. The kids had fun playing with their new toys. Carter just loves Jordan and wanted to spend more time with her so we took her out to eat us and then made a stop by Dunkin Donuts :) We had a great time and enjoyed being with everyone.

How can she be 3?

It is truly hard to believe its been 3 years since my baby girl came into this world. She has been such a blessing in our lives. She is HILARIOUS, sweet, loving, and a handful all at the same time. Bentley, you are the best Christmas gift we have ever recievd and I thank God for you everyday. I am so glad he chose us to be your earthly parents. Our families came over to eat lunch and cake with us on Saturday!



Our most cherished Christmas gift, thank you God!

Friday after Josephs Company Christmas Lunch we took the kids to Bass Pro Shops to see Santa. HUGE milestone this year, Bentley sat in his lap, no smiling or talking, but progress none the less :)



Hmm..."Bubbie" went, should I?



Bentley's Baby Doll Birthday Party



  We had Bentleys 3rd birthday party yesterday. We had a baby doll party at the Country Club. The girls played babies and got their nails painted. I think everyone had a great time and I truly appreciate all of our family and friends joining us to make her day special. For lunch we had fruit, chicken fingers, smiley fries, rolls, and chicken salad. Afterwards we enjoyed cupcakes from Dreamcakes.
