Santa 2007

Olivia and Bentley at the church Christmas party. You should see the other photo we decided not to post. I think Ben may have given Santa a few bruises from kicking and screaming. We were finally able to calm him down by giving him some yummy candy to distract him and take a quick pic. Olivia just watched her brother's tantrum, but didn't seem amused. She's used to it by now and is probably wondering what's his deal.


Christmas was fun with 2 kids. Ben actually got presents this year. Wahoo! He was either a good little boy or mom and dad decided he was old enough to remember. Santa gave him a BIG wheel and Golf Set. When I say big, I mean BIG. He can't even reach the peddles. We decided later that the presents would have been perfect presents for next year, seeing that he really couldn't play with them. We hope by age 3 he can reach the peddles and maybe play some golf with dad. Sticking with age appropriate toys is really good advice. He also got some trucks and Backyardigan toys from Family that was a hit. Thanks for helping us out. We'll do better next time.
