Christmas time [was] here...

Giggle, scream, cooing and ahhing... Bentley woke us up Christmas morning at about 8am. We went out as a family to the tree together to see what Santa brought. She immediately took a few toy blocks and put them in her mouth, a sign of love for sure. They were a "peak" as we say in my family. She also received a little easel with one chalkboard side and one whiteboard side. This will most likely be used with adult supervision :)

After our little family Christmas, we went over to Drew's parent's home to celebrate there. I am not sure what to call it, but from Cliff and Kelly she got this play area that she can stand up in and learn to entertain herself. Drew painstakingly put it together, just the beginning of many future fatherhood duties like this. Her auntie Adrianne crocheted a beautiful hat and scarf set just Bentley-size.

Uncle Josh surprised her with a cherry red Radio Flyer wagon which now holds her stuffed animals and Grandma Diane sewed her a quilt which she said it would have to go for $5000 before she ever did it again! It was a joy to watch Bentley experiencing Christmas for the first time. It feels as though you experience it anew too.

From her great grandparents, she gladly "accepted" a check which will go into her own little savings account.
