Kiss under the mistletoe!!!



Bennett kiss under the mistletoe, he didn't like it much.

Bennett didn't open one present that night, all he wanted to do was throw all the garbage away.
He's our garbage boy!!!

Thanksgiving at Brock and Kathryns

We got to have Thanksgiving at Brock and Kathryns this year.

They moved into their new house not to long ago, so they still have an

unfinished basement.  I think thats cool because then we got to play hockey.

It was lots of fun.

Even Bennett joined in for a little hockey.

Kathryn made little turkeys out of oreos, peanut butter cups

and some other good stuff.  They were REALLY good.

 Bennett doing his part of helping clean up.  That kid Loves the garbage.

Bennett loved the turkeys too!!!



Hockey Camp and Bennett being Silly!!!

Grady started hockey the first week of November.   He had a whole week of hockey camp and now has hockey practice on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.  My baby is too little to be starting a sport, but he LOVES it.  He asks me everyday if he gets to go to hockey and had put many scratches on my laminent flooring and a hole in a door already and he's only 4. 

These pics are from the very first night of camp. 

He is already skating all over the place and getting up from the ice all by himself
