Bennett is 3!

Bennett turned 3 on November 5 and we loved celebrating the laughter of house! She continues to be so full of life and love and always surprises us by what comes out of her mouth- she's definitely very affectionate...lots of leg squeezes and kisses but also very independant (mommy please don't put your arm around me...we're reading) and insists she can do everything Celia can.....we love you B! we're so thankful for these past 3 years and the joy of you!

We started out the morning with breakfast cake (our version is a short stack with chocolate icing in between)

full of breakfast cake!

a date with E at the toy store....

and now time for the Fancy Nancy party!!

playing dress up on the porch...

Here's Dave pointing out that everybody is fancy except Shannon....then the search started to help turn Shannon into Fancy Shancy

and here she is! Fancy Shancy!

one of Ben's gifts was a tent and sleeping bag combo- that night the girls had their first camp-in and actually made it all night long! what a fun memory!
