Christmas at the Benson's


Gael's dress she made Bella

HI

So i know its been a long time but here are some things that have happened. Bella Turned 4 months.(she will be 5 months on the 31) she weighed almost 15 lbs (70%) she was 26 inches (95%). She was also healthy, unlike now. Gavin and Bella both have colds. Bella's new things are holding toys, sticking out her tongue, reaching for things. She is growing up so fast. Gavin is coming along also he talks a lot better now, which i think is all from school, He still loves trains and is now using the Potty. It only took one day of accidents to make him want to use it all the time now. We had a great Christmas. First had Christmas with the Benson on monday then spent Christmas eve and Christmas at the Bloms. Gavin got a thomas rain coat, boat and umbrella from the benson and Bella got a great beautiful dress that Grandma Gael made. Gavin got an amazing gift of train pictures for his room from Grandpa Scott where he even put Gavin in one. They really complete his room. I will put pictures on when i finishing painting his room. Tyson gave me a great new foot for my sewing machine a BSR foot, it works great. My Mom made me a wonderful quilt. I love it. We had two great b-days Cody turned 16!!! Grandma Gael also had a fun one too, i made her a cool bag. Lately i have been really into sewing. i have made three quilts and a bag. i have plenty more to finish i will get some pics on soon. It really has become one of my favorite things to do. We also had Grandma & Grandpa Great in town for a week or so and that was really fun to spend time with them. Tyson has started school and we are excited for him to get that finished but we will sure miss him cause he will be very busy. One last big thing is - We are very excited to be getting a new Brother in-law and uncle this Summer. Jessica and John are engaged. :) We can't wait!

Earrings!!!


Bella got some pretty pink diamonds for her ears. She woke up to us poking at her ears and then getting shot with the earring. She did very well, she calmed down in between them and then went to sleep two minutes after it was all done. I love how they look. She looks even more beautiful with them. 

after the first one was done. 
right before the first one
Aunt Jessica was in town for Thanksgiving so she made it to the event and Aunt Sommer too. Grammy Blom was there too but she was off looking at trains with Gavin.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was fun, we first started out at the Benson's then went over to the Bloms. Bella slept most of the time why i laid low on the couch. I got the flu so Thanksgiving wasn't the best for me but everyone else had a good time.
