~Now U See it Now U Don't~

Holy Cow!! It's gone, all 10 inches! My good friend cut it all off today! I've been wanting to cut it but I thought since I have such think hair I'd wait a little bit to have enough to donate to Lock's of Love, well today was the day! What do you think?

I Love it!!!

~Merry Christmas~

Merry Christmas! How fun is it to be a parent on Christmas...I never imagined that it would be so fun! It truly is much more fun to give! Chris and I are always so excited to give the kids their presents we can hardly stand it! Ya...we were up opening at 5 am!!! Santa was very giving to the kids this year...he gave Berklee a key board like she wanted and Mason a ning ning table, that he wanted! Marlee just got a few little things but, she was most excited about the wrapping paper! They were all so excited and so much fun to watch! I love my little one's, they make life fun!

Snow Day!!!

Christmas Eve Chris and I took the kids up to the snow! They had so much fun! Marlee was so bundled that she could not stay sitting up, she'd slowly fall back! They snow was so dry and powerder-ee that it was hard to even make a now ball. After several attempts at making a big snowman, Berklee settled on making a little baby one! It was a fun thing to do together on Christmas Eve!ps~why can I not get my photo's to rotate!!!!??? Annoying!

Lil' Ol GP

Our little town is so fun...I love how decorated down town is! I think it's so cute, it's one of the

many reason I LOVE GP!! Last week we got the kids all bundled up and walked around to all the big singing Christmas cards....(as Mason calls them) It was so fun, each one plays a song and the lights move, they are really neat looking!! We also got some hot coco to keep us all warm!! So fun!

My Favorite Day!!

So..this last week end we did one of my Favorite things!! For the last 4 years, me and some friends get our little girls together, get all dressed up, have a fancy tea party and then go to the Nutcracker ballet. It is so fun! Berklee looks forward to it all year long! It's magical when that familiar music starts and the curtains open! As I watch Berklee's face light up, it just fills my heart with joy. Each year I look at her as she watches with this big smile on her face and think...I am so in love with my daughter right now!! This was Marlee's first year, she watched almost the whole thing, she fell asleep at the end! It's so fun to have a girls day. I can't wait for next year!!!

Couzins

It's a Family affair...always here in GP!! Here are all the cousins in their Christmas attire! So adorable! Any one know how to make 6 kids even look the same way at once... let alone smile...not me!!

Christmas Party!!

So...sorry that I have been absent from the blogging world the last week or so but we have been so sick!!! YUCK!! Anyway...here are my children at our ward party seeing Santa! They were so excited! Berklee asked for an American Girl Doll, Samantha to be specific! Mason, a ning ning table, aka train table, and Marlee just wanted to pull his beard! When we walked off the stage Mason started crying because he wanted to know where his train table was....he thought that he would ask and Santa would give it to him, it was pretty funny!!!

Weekend FUN!!

This last weekend our good friends, the Marley's came down and visited, we had so much fun with them! Staying up until 1 in the morning laughing at who knows what, hanging out and catching up! It's crazy to think it was almost 12 years ago when our husbands met and became such good friends! I often tease Chris that us wives are now the "better" friends!! It was crazy to watch all 5 of our kids run around and play together! We can't wait to get together with you guys again soon!! (February!!)

{Christmas Tree!}

The Bennett 5!

Last week we finally got our Christmas tree!! yahoooo! We have been trying to get it for weeks but are just so busy! The kids had a blast running around the Tree Lot, it was freezing cold but still lots of fun!

TA-DA!!!

He's AMAZING! My little man decided last week that he was done with dipee's and wanted to only wear "big boy panties" (can you tell he has an older sister) and he did! It's been 4 days of no accidents, and I think we've crossed that line! I've always heard that boys are so much harder to potty train than girls...funny, not here!! I'm so proud of him!! who knew that little boy underwears were so cute!!!

My little Business Women!!

Some much Christmas fun, Berklee last week got some mistletoe from the backyard, put little ribbons on it and is selling it down at Chris's work. She is trying to make money to buy Christmas gifts! She's so cute, and having so much fun with this!!

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM???

SERIOUSLY!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND? THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY...AT LEAST ONCE SOMETIMES MORE! THIS PICTURE DOES NOT DO JUSTICE! MARLEE IS LITERALLY FULL OF CRAP!! THE LAUNDRY AROUND THIS PLACE IS OUT OF CONTROL!!! GOOD THING SHE IS SO DANG CUTE AND HAPPY OR IT MIGHT MAKE SCRUBBING POOP OUT OF THE CARPET AND OUT OF HER CLOTHES AND THE CAR SEAT AND MY CLOTHES AND HER BEDDING, AND THE STROLLER (DAILY) QUIT A CHORE!! by the way, she is sitting..like really sitting up not the taco sit up where they do it for a second and fold in 1/2, but the real thing!!

Thanksgiving!

How fun is Thanksgiving...I love how kick back it is! We started off the day watching Christopher be an all star in the "Beacon Hill Annual Turkey Ball"! The kids had a blast watching and running all over! It's lots of fun to watch all the guys from Young Men to...not so young get out there and have a good time!

Next, it's on to the light hanging, we do this every year on Thanksgiving, well....the last 2 years we were in my parents house and help with their lights. Ours being in storage for over 2 years, probably should have been checked out a little better before being hung. Christopher and Berklee got them all up and I'm not kidding it was just like the part in Christmas Vacation when he has all the family out side and does the drum roll and sadly enough they don't turn on...ya that was the Bennett Family this year!! Poor Christopher! But after a couple hours of fuse changing, they work! Well most of them that is!

Berklee and Mason enjoyed eating and playing with the cousins and Marlee had her first taste of food! Good Old Rice Cereal...yum...kinda! She did not know what to think! All in all it was a great day!!!
