Naughty or Nice

We went to our playgroup again. This time instead of toddling turkeys, they were naughty or nice! Bentley wanted to be naughty since she didn't want to have anything to do with group pictures as you can see from the picture! Otherwise, we had fun and we painted a Christmas tree picture, made a Rudolph ornament from her hands and feet, and we made a S'mores type snack together by scooping and pouring! She took a nap when we got home and then we made some Christmas cookies!! Fun day for mommy and Bentley while daddy was hunting again!

Christmas

Christmas this year will prove to be much more work than last year! Last year, Bentley had various Christmas celebrations but she was only about 6 months old so she didn't really know what was going on! This year she loves the Hallmark decorations I have because they sing and dance when she pushes the button. One of her favorite things to do is dance, and so she loves to dance with the characters on these things. She also loves presents. She helps me wrap the presents, but she draws on them when I'm writing who they are for and from. This year many presents will have drawings courtesy of Bentley's help! She also loves the Christmas ornaments and the tree. She is absolutely enchanted by them! She has unwrapped some presents (that weren't hers!), pulled off ornaments to get a better look, and tried to get so close to look at the lights on the tree that it poked her in the eye! It is definitely a joy to watch her take in all of the pieces of our Christmas tradition.

Toddling Turkey Playgroup

This November, we went to a friend's house for a Toddling Turkey playgroup. There are various children that are between ages 1-3 that get together once a month when possible to play. Bentley has friends she loves to play with, make crafts, and eat yummy snacks! Her friends in this group are Chloe, Chloe, Andrew, Carly, Drew, Nora, and Aaron! This picture is of the ones who made their turkey headbands and decorated them!

Daddy and Bentley

Brandon has been hunting a lot lately so when he's home, Bentley cannot get enough of him! She wants to watch tv with him (even if it's hunting shows!) and she wants to watch online hunting videos with him. This picture is of the two of them sitting on the couch watching Michael Waddell online and they are both excited about it! It's hard to pull her away from him for bathtime or diaper changing or anything!
