End of November

 Thanksgiving, a visit with Grandma & Grandpa, and a crazy girl!  The kids had a good time at Thanksgiving playing with cousins.  We also enjoyed staying home enjoying spending time with Grandma & Grandpa.  They read books and played a lot of games with everyone.  We didn't make any plans and didn't have to go anywhere, so we just stayed home!  I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I should have, but it was so good to see them!

After a rock song came on the radio, so looked at the rearview mirror and made this face!!

Bentley's Birthday & Baptism

 Our girl Bentley turned 8 this month!  She was nervous about getting baptized for most of the year.  She was hesitant about having all the attention and people looking at her.  Thankfully after several conversations and reassurances she decided it would be ok and agreed to do it.  I was also surprised to hear from her teachers about how much she talked about her baptism at school and was inviting everyone!

We were shocked that Grandma & Grandpa were able to close their clinic down and made the trip here!  It was great to see them and spend time with them over Thanksgiving.  

The baptism itself went really well.  Bentley had a great day and even one of her friends was able to come.  She was smiling the whole time and did everything 'right'.  She was really worried about messing up. 

Bentley's sweet friend Perrie that came to support her!
She was so excited she was doing cartwheels down the hallway waiting for everyone to get there!

Family Pictures 2023

 It's that time again: Family pictures!  It's always so funny to me how much they all complain about family pictures, but once we get out there, they all get excited and pick the places they want to take their pictures. The time change and everyone's schedules made it difficult to find a time to get them done, but thankfully we were able to pull it off, and they turned out pretty good!
