Christmas

These two pics are out of order and I didn't know how to fix it, but oh well. Bentley got this little push toy for Christmas and she loves it and hopefully it will get her stronger so she can walk on her own!




We've had quite the eventful couple of weeks! All three of us have been sick with different things. I have had pneumonia, Bentley had a bladder infection and got really sick throwing up and wouldn't eat or drink anything, and Josh had to go to the ER because of terrible stomach pain. He said it was the worst pain he's ever had. Me and my mom drove out to the hospital to be with Josh and my sister stayed at our house with Bentley and we were there until 4:30 in the morning. Thanks so much mom for your help, couldn't have done it without you!!! Josh ended up being fine, we still don't know what was wrong, and hopefully he stays healthy and me and Bentley are doing better too!


Anyway we had a really good Christmas! Christmas Eve we had a nice dinner with the Ludwig family, Josh's dad and sister and her family! Then we went to my parents and stayed the night!

Bentley opening presents with her grandma Ludwig!
We read the story from Luke and the kids acted it out! Brooke was Mary, Cole was Joseph and didn't want to wear any kind of costume:) and Bentley was an angel and thought she was so funny! Thanks for the fun night Jess!
We got up at about 7:00, my little brother couldn't wait any longer. We opened presents and then had some homeade cinnamon rolls!

Bentley got this push toy from santa. She loved it as you can tell by her face!
Me and Bentley opening up some of her presents Christmas morning!
Bentley in the middle of the mess! She was a little overwhelmed by all the stuff everywhere, but she had fun.
Bryce pushing Bentley around on her new toy from Grandma and Grandpa Baldwin.
The Ludwigs!!
Grandpa and Bentley at Christmas dinner! We went to Ogden for Christmas dinner and we have to do it at the church since there were about 95 people there! It was so fun to see everyone and of course the food was so good!
Us at dinner, and yes Bentley is eating a pickle! She definitely takes after me loving pickles and sour stuff!
Josh is in EMT school and has to do 100 assessments on different people for his class, so our families were so nice to help him out by letting him check them out!
Christmas night we got to spend time with the Seely's, Josh's mom and family! They came down from Colorado to spend time with us! We had lots of fun hanging out with them!
I've always done this since I was little where you put out all the stuff you got for Christmas and take a picture by it, so I made all of us do it this year! We got so spoiled from eachother and our families! Christmas is so fun and I am kind of sad that it's already over!
Josh and all his goods!!!
As you can see Bentley got spoiled, mostly from our families. She's had so much fun looking at and playing with all her toys!
