Happy Birthday Tanny!
We got to visit Tanielle, Chris, and the girls on the 22nd to celebrate Tanielle's birthday! We had yummy food, delicious desert, played games, watched the Help, and visited late into the night! It was a blast! Then all the boys went shooting in the morning. They had a blast as well! They are always looking for an excuse to go shoot some guns and be manly :) haha they are the best. We sure do love them and love when they get a chance to spend some quality time doing the thing they love!

Babys First Christmas!
Christmas was great this year! It is so fun having Pres here and getting to experience all of her "firsts" with her. We had a great Christmas Eve and got to spend it with my familia! We did our annual family traditions and this year Joel got to be Joseph, I was Mary, and Presley was baby Jesus. We sang Christmas songs around the piano, my mom and I stayed up late and prepped Christmas dinner (with Joel as a sidekick/helper), then us three stayed up late watching the Nativity and getting things ready for Christmas morning!
Christmas morning was great as always! Presley loved all her presents but her favorite was the wrapping paper OF COURES! :) It was so fun! She got lots of new clothes, shoes, toys, care bear, and a walker! It was fun watching her play with her new toys, she was a riot! :)
And one of my FAVORITE Christmas presents was getting to talk to my sister on a mission! We got to Skype with her!! It was so good to see her face! Ahhhhh! Oh how I miss her! Love technology and am so grateful I could see her and talk to her when she is all the way in Belgium!
We also go to talk to Kel! Joel's brother that is in Japan on mission! It was so fun and he is doing great! We miss and love our two missionaries and are so proud of them for serving the Lord and building His kingdom. They are amazing!
Christmas day we also got to go and visit my grandma and grandpa Benson. Presley got to go in and see grandpa Benson (the grandpa she is named after-his middle name is Clair and her middle name is Claire). He is not doing very well and we don't know how much longer he has left. I'm so glad that we got to go see him on Christmas day! I got the sweetest picture of him and Grandma Benson with Presley that I will always cherish and I know she will one day as well! It was a very sweet moment. We also got to visit with my aunt Monta Faye and her kids! It was so great to see them.
To top off a wonderful Christmas, we had a delicious dinner at the Robbins! We played, opened more presents, and sat around and visited. I love being with family! They are all so amazing and so important to me.
All in all it has been a fabulous holiday and so much fun! I love being a parent! It opens up a whole new world of joy and happiness! I love every second and this little one is teaching me new things every day. :)

Cafe Terrace
Saturday, one of Joel's mission companions had the grand opening of his new restaurant 'Cafe Terrace'. It's a great little cafe with crepes, sandwiches, soup, salads, gelato, and Italian sodas! So Presley, Joel, and I headed down to American Fork to support him and also have a little date night and try the cuisine :) it was delicious and is such a cute fun atmosphere. They even had a professional accordion player playing the songs of Italy! Loved it and Presley loved the music too. She even dance and giggled on dads lap. What a fun night!
