Fa, la, la, la, la!
CHRISTMAS! I’m so pumped; it’s so much fun with a little person around. Benson saw Santa for the first time a couple weekends ago and was such a fan. I LOVE how much he loves attention.
Our attempt at a group shot, lol!
I realize he won’t exactly get it yet, but Brandon and I thoroughly enjoyed figuring out what to get him and ordering everything online to get sent to Grammies house where we’ll be for Christmas. Last night we went to Target and picked out Barbies to help provide Christmas for some less fortunate little girls. Brandon helped me find some that were semi modest (for reals, Barbie is a little scandalous) and we hooked them up with outfit options. I wrapped them super cute and it felt like Christmas, even in my treeless house. We didn’t end up doing a tree because we are leaving Thursday to go HOME (and let’s face it, Benson would demolish it, see exhibit A below) but we are rocking our mantel!
I've been contemplating, is there a point to sending Christmas cards anymore? On one hand, I can’t see the point because Face Book and blogs keep us up to date on every little detail…like seriously, we know what you ate for dinner, how much you love your husband and where you celebrated your mom’s birthday, but…I love getting them and making them so I may do one even though ya’ll already know what’s up with us. Oh, it’s the 12th? Maybe I should get working on that!
Tasks for the coming week, get Benson well so our flight isn’t as nightmarish as the Thanksgiving one was, presents for the rest of the fam (it isn’t all about Benson?), pack, pack and more packing, clean, work, stress. Yay!

I'm Ten Months!
Benson is 10 months old! As of late, he is obsessed with standing. For reals, he cannot be trusted. He attempts to stand in his stroller (while it's moving), in his highchair (while he's eating), holding onto my legs while I'm cooking, doing dishes, etc. He loves playing with his soccer ball, jabbering the day away, and his all time favorite activity is reading books. He will find a book and crawl around with it whining until someone reads it to him.
We just got back to MI after a little trip home for Thanksgiving. Benson loved all the attention and I'm pretty sure my entire house is the size of my parents entryway so he had space to crawl to his hearts content. I've contemplated skipping over the Thanksgiving post all together because it was a disaster of epic proportions. We had Thanksgiving in Mesquite with Brandon's family, left the diaper bag in Las Vegas that had ya know, food, diapers, wipes, (basically everything we needed to function for the day). It was no bueno. Aside from that little mishap, it was so great to see everyone, and we are so thankful for our little wild bundle of joy, our family, our faith, and each other.
Happy 10 Months, Happy Thanksgiving!
