Christmas

We made some sugar cookies before Christmas! I let Bentley decorate a few and eat them! She mostly eats the frosting!
Putting on some sprinkles.
Our finished product.
For Christmas Eve I worked for a half day and then we went over to my parents house! We ate some yummy turkey and lots of good appetizers.
We all played darts. I was horrible and made a few holes in the wall....
Josh and Bentley opened their ornaments
Then Bentley opened her Christmas jammies and slippers.
My parents let her open this camping chair. She loved it and had to run and get her drink to put in the cup holder.
Getting ready to sleep with Cami and Bryce. She didn't last too long and slept horrible that night.
We played a fun candy bar game.
We played the Wii.
This was a picture of all our presents together. There were so many.

Bentley looking at all her stuff from Santa. She was a bit overwhelmed at first, but then started looking at everything.
Playing with her tools she got from Santa.
My brother checking out his new cell phone.
I surprised my parents Christmas morning with stockings of their own.
Josh "tiredly" opening his stocking.
Me and Josh opening our stockings.
Bentley loved opening presents this year and was so excited to see what was inside.
She got a barbie.
My parents got her some dress up clothes and a stroller. Once she opened the stroller she didn't want to open anything else.
Gabe and Melissa finishing up opening their presents.
Bentley and grandpa. She wanted to wear her dress up clothes and her new snow stuff!
My parents made a yummy breakfast for all of us.

Later we went to Josh's dad and Julie's house and did some presents.

She got this cute table that papa made for her. She loves it and always wants to sit at her own table now.
We went and saw great grandma Ludwig and did some presents with her.
Then we went back to my parents for some dinner. We had a seafood night, which everyone loved except for me. I don't like seafood, but I had some of leftovers from the night before.

Bentley sitting in front of all her stuff she got from Christmas.
Josh's mom and step dad gave his these boots. He was so excited and has been wanting these for so long.
Bentley trying on my new boots. She loves other people's shoes.
We took a walk to try out Bentley's new stroller. She was so happy pushing her baby around.

Bentley got a new baby doll from grams and gramps (josh's mom & step dad.) She absolutely loves this doll and has to take it everywhere with her.
Trying on her new princess dresses! I can't believe how big she is getting.
We had such a good Christmas and we are so grateful for eachother and to have such awesome families.

December

We had a Christmas party with the Ludwig side! We ate dinner, played games, crafts for the kids! It was a fun night!
Brooke and Cole decorating their ornaments.
Bentley making her ornament.
Josh and Bentley making her snowman.

Finished product.
Time to eat it...
Bentley and her great grandma Ludwig!
My mom recently had a birthday and she got this little table and chairs for her grand kids/daycare kids! My nephew Jace sat up so good in this chair.
My cute mom and her grandkids playing with the new table.


Enjoying some cake. Or maybe just the frosting...
Opening some presents.


We went to a fun party and a guy came and made balloon animals for the kids. Bentley got a cute Rudolph made for her. She was so excited.



We went to Thanksgiving Point to see the lights and get some ice cream.
Bentley sharing her ice cream cone with me.

That night they had live reindeer, so we went and saw them. Bentley was so amazed.



These are a little out of order, but this was how Bentley decorated the tree. She was having such a fun time!


We usually always have a real tree, but I think I am loving the fake one. No mess, no cost every year, don't have to worry about where to take it after Christmas is over, and it always looks perfect! Maybe someday we will do both.
Our ward Christmas party. Josh's sister, Francie came with us that night!
