Christmas is almost here!

We are all so excited about Christmas!  It is extra special this year since it is Braeden's first.  I love to sit and watch her looking at the presents and the lights on the tree.  There is such an innocence in her eyes. I'm thrilled to get the chance to share the most wonderful time of the year with another little Bentley!  

Kerri and Brook have spent hours under the tree shaking and feeling their presents, determined to figure out what they are.  They have come awfully close several times.  BoBo has shared with them that art that he learned from his dad. Needless to say, I have spent a lot of time trying to throw everyone off course.  It works some times, others not.

We will be doing a little traveling during the holidays. We will be spending time at my parent's before Christmas, home on Christmas day and then with the Bentley's on the weekend.  One must count themselves blessed to get to have multiple Christmases! Each one does it a little different, but they are all equally wonderful!

Have A Very Merry Christmas!!

Kerri

Kerri
Kerri is now 10 years old and doing all the cool things a "tween" likes to do. She enjoys seeing, e-mailing, calling, and spending the night with her friends. Most of the time, you'll find her head buried in her Nintendo DS. She makes good grades at school and LOVES science. When she grows up, she would like to be a Vet. She likes helping take care of her sisters too.

Brook

Brook
Brook is 7 years old going on 30. She is so full of life and most days there is an immense amount of drama. She loves to play teacher, write, eat, play with polly pockets, barbies, and dinosaurs, play peek a boo with Braeden, and play anything with Kerri. She makes straight A's at school, but still doesn't like to go. She wants to be a Vet when she grows up. Her favorite place in the whole wide world is Disney World.

Braeden

Braeden
Braeden is growing up so fast! She is now 9 months old. She is now scooting on her bottom and rolling everywhere! She can almost crawl and will walk everywhere if someone is holding her hands. At her recent doctor's appointment, she weighed 23 pounds and was 30 inches long. She was off the chart again for height (15 month old), weight (17 month old), and head circumference (22 month old). The doctor said she was the size of a 18 month old!
