MORE BIRTHDAYS

THANKFUL BENSON
Benson turned 2 years old yesterday!
Benson is such a thankful kid.
He is so loveable- he is grateful for everything.
He's also easy to pursuade.  
He says, "OK Mommy" after I explain things to him.
He is also so affectionate.
He loves babies.  He always carries around a doll.
He holds my hand constantly- 
in the car, during meals, on walks, etc.

He smothered Grandma Jolene with hugs 
when she came up for his birthday.


HOLLAND'S HATS
Holland turned 4 last week!
She is a darling girl.  She loves clothes and accessories.
She wears a hat every single day- it's an easy hair-do.
I crocheted here this one for her birthday.

She has become quite the story-teller.
When we tuck her into bed at night,
 she loves to hear a story about when we were little.
She then repeats the story back to us as if it happened to her!

She is really starting to get helpful around the house.
She has become our vacuumer.
She is the heart of our family.
She is so much fun.
