Date Night

Like last year, Annabelle and I went on a date to the Methodist church Christmas cantata. We really enjoy it and hope to make it a yearly tradition.

Christmas in Colon

Christmas in Colon was early in December. Here are a few shots from that night. My memory card was full by the time the kids got to sit on Santa's lap. I was so bummed but was thankful I had gotten the picture with Santa from Walmart.

SANTA!

Eliza can clearly say "Santa." But we ask her often, "Do you love Santa?"... and she very emphatically shakes her head NO! Don't you just love this picture?!?

5 then 6

In the above picture my sweet Bennett is 6! I took a picture on the last day he was 5. It's the picture below. Does he look younger :)??

Bennett loves to run, ride his bike, color, and imagine up cool ideas! He enjoys learning how to do things to make himself more independent...like make his own Coco Wheats in the morning. He loves to be outside and stay active. He's what one might call "all boy." He takes good care of his sisters and they both adore him. He can be very thoughtful. Once when watching a commercial about the possibility of winning a trip to Disney Land, he initially said "I want to win!" Then several minutes later said "Oh never mind." I asked him why he changed his mind and his response was that the commercial said it was a trip for 4 and we have 5 in our family and he wouldn't want to leave anyone behind :). We love our boy!

there are no words...

A Little of ELIZA!
