December fun

My nieces and nephew came over and we made some yummy sugar cookies. The kids were so messy, but they had so much fun .....




This month we got to go to Bentley's Christmas recital. We weren't sure if she would actually dance at all, since she just stood there scared out of her mind at the rehearsal, but she totally surprised us and did her routine full on. She was so cute, just smiling and having fun! Josh and I were so proud of her watching her up on that big stage in front of lots of people.

Me and Bentley before her performance. They did their dance to a Cinderella Christmas song.

Bentley and Great grandma Ludwig.
She's the one on the very right. Looks like she's doing her own thing.

The kids all sat at the front and did a cute finale for the parents. Then a surprise visitor came..... Santa and Mrs Clause. I wish I had a close up picture of her face. She was beyond excited when she saw santa walk in!!!
Waiting patiently to see santa.

Telling santa what she wants for Christmas....... A baby and a bike!!

We celebrated my moms birthday! My dad asked me to make her a cake! I'm still very amateur, but I think it turned out pretty good!

My cute mom and her birthday cake!

Me, my mom, and my sister got together to make our neighbor gifts. We made some cake pops and some "SANTA"tizer. We had fun doing this together!

November



We took some family pictures... Nothing special, just set up a tripod and snapped a picture. These will have to do for this year!!

Cute Bentley! Almost three!

Bentley loved holding the ducks that daddy shot after his hunting trip! They had a very successful hunt, getting lots of ducks, some pheasants, and a couple geese!

One of Josh's new hobby's is trapping pigeons. He traps them and uses them to train his hunting dog! It's actually pretty fun to watch the dog find and point the birds! Bentley thinks they are her pets. Of course, they stay outside:)

Our friends from Arizona came to visit. Bentley loved holding the new baby!

We made these fun turkeys this year for Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving at my grandparents house! It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun.
Playing red rover with some cousins at Thanksgiving.

Bentley loved helping us get out the Christmas decorations this year!
