Christmas Traditions

If you are here to read our Christmas card, click HERE.

We love our Christmas traditions! This year we were able to add a few new ones with Ramsey. It's been such a joyous season!


The house is decorated on the inside.











I actually put my decorations up on November 1st this year! Crazy I know! But my mom was in town, and I thought I needed another hand to help with Ramsey so that was my only option.







We were away at Thanksgiving and left early for Christmas so this way we were able to enjoy everything longer. I loved it! I think I will be decorating early from now on. Maybe not November 1st early, but sooner than December.







Decorating Ramsey's room was my favorite!



I used all my old things that were appropriate for her.







We added new lights to our outdoor display. They are bright!


On Thanksgiving we gave Ramsey Christmas pajamas to wear all season long. And how cute is she?!



Ramsey has helped me with all the Christmas shopping.


We got Bahama Buck's and drove around to look at Christmas lights.




Ramsey met Santa!



We have baked some Christmas cookies.



We have attended our company Christmas parties.


We built gingerbread houses with the neighbors.



I clearly stink at taking pictures during our activities so this was me remembering to get a pic of Ramsey being there to help!










More Christmas light viewing.





Can you see all the silhouettes of people looking at these lights?! It was insane!! I thought there was a party or something, but it was really just people coming to see their lights!





We took our neighbors to see our favorite neighborhoods!



About half the houses in our neighborhood has lights up this year. I'm so impressed! But I guess this neighbor chose to give up!



We love to see the Chandler Tumbleweed Tree!



Next up, spend time with family. We have had a great time fitting everything in. Now we can just relax! Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Card 2017

Merry Christmas from the Bensons!
We are so thankful for the year we have had and hope the end of this year finds you well! We have had many changes this year as you all probably know and have been following along, but here is a recap just in case!

Our entire year had been filled with all things baby, and it has been my favorite year to date! In February we announced baby Benson was on the way.


The Spring brought several visitors which we always enjoy. 




We had started to plan a trip to Europe which was quickly turned into our 'babymoon'. 










We had such a great time! If you want to see more about that, click HERE

Our summer was filled with getting ready for the baby including baby showers and preparing the nursery.


We also threw in a couple pool parties and trips back home.


 September rolled around and our lives changed forever! Ramsey was born September 21, and we haven't been the same since. 


Life now revolves around her, and I love it!



We have enjoyed time with family and friends both near and far.




We hope you are enjoying time with the ones you love the most this holiday season. We look forward to another amazing year in 2018! God Bless!
