(21st) Chris decided he wanted to pass off one of his scout goals and help plan a meal, set the table, and do the dishes afterwards. I was not going to stop him, by any means ;P And if Chris was helping, Peyton was helping too!
Then for family home evening, we decided to make gingerbread cookies. Peyton and I mixed up the dough while Chris finished the dishes.
Then we all used some cookie cutters to cut some cute cookies out.
Add a little frosting and "skinkles" as Peyton would put it, and you have some nice cookies made and decorated with LOVE!
(23rd) We were getting a house ready for a little Thanksgiving company, and when I say little, I mean my mom! And Peyton wanted to help! So she slipped on my shoes and grabbed everything that needed to go to her room and off she........scuffled!
(24th) For Thanksgiving day, we joined my mother-in-laws parents for their meal! Of course, Thanksgiving translates into Football for the male gender so here is Kenny, Ben, and Dayn watching what ever team didn't happen to be on commercial at the time!
My mom used up every chance she got to love on Bentley, since he is such a cuddly little boy! And he didn't mind at all that someone was around that would pick him up on his every whim!
(26th) Happy Birthday Bentley! I can hardly believe that my little guy is one. I remember so vividly his arrival into this world and the 4 LONG days that followed and it doesn't seem possible that it's been a year already! But here we are, celebrating the life of our handsome Bentley boy!
His toys were not wasted either. He has played with and loved each one......starting with the boxes:)
After we accembled the toys, all the kids(minus Chris) enjoyed the heck out of it. It was a big hit:)
Grandma Sony wanted to head home before she was driving in the dark so we all said our good-byes before she left.
Bentley was not happy about the fact that we put the cupcake so far away just to get a picture.
But the fact that we let him eat the cupcake all by himself made up for it:) He enjoyed the heck out of it! Cupcakes have always been a big hit for the first birthday parties. Here's Bentley with his.......
And here's Peyton at her first birthday enjoying her birthday cupcake:) Oh, how alike they are!
He truely liked all of his cupcake! It was licking his fingers and lips for quite a while afterwards!
(27th) Jocelynn's birthday is the day after Bentley's so we got spoiled and got cake 2 days in a row! She turned 6 and I can barely believe she's getting so big. She was only Bentley's age when Ben and I got married and now she's a smart growing girl and we're loving watching her grow!
We purchaced Bentley a new car seat a few days before his birthday and broke it out this evening to the straps adjusted and fit to him before we put it in the car! He thought the box was tons of fun!
Peyton decided to try it out and didn't to much care for it when she sat back and it rolled backwards:) So funny!
