Happy Birthday Bentlee






So Bentlee's birthday isn't officially until Sept. 24th but with Erica's wedding going on this week I decided to have Bentlee's party a little early. We had cake and ice cream for her on Sunday up at the new park in front of the middle school. The park was perfect for the kids. It had shade, a bathroom, and was very clean, we loved it! I don't think Bentlee was quite sure what to do with the attention that everyone was giving her, she is usually so funny and loud but she was just kind of quiet and sober throughout the party. I really wanted her to just dig into her cake, (which James decorated all by himself, I was really impressed), and make a huge mess like she usually does at home but she wasn't quite sure about it. I can't believe she is already one, I remember bringing her home from the hospital like it was yesterday. It's really exciting but a little depressing too in a way. She has gotten to be so much fun and we love her very very much!

I can't believe James decorated that cake! Awesome.

Bentlee is so cute. I think she is special because I can see both you and James in her face. Your genes did her well. :)
