Weekend with the Benders

This weekend, Wesley's parents came into town. They wanted to spend some time with us before Philip's arrival and celebrate Christmas with us.

As soon as they arrived, Wesley and Jackson wasted no time asking if we could open presents! We all sat down and enjoyed watching Jackson get all excited about his new videos, clothes, and microphone!

Wesley and I too were excited about opening the gifts. Especially the one with Mickey Mouse on top! We read the letter attached to the present and were ecstatic that 2010 will bring the next Bender Disney Vacation!! We all went in 2005 and had a blast! I know this trip will be so much fun as well!!




We're going back to Disney!
Saturday, Jack and Lynne offered to watch Jackson so Wesley and I could go to a movie. We have wanted to see The Blindside so we took them up on the offer. Wesley and I loved the movie and I know Jackson had fun with his Grammy and KD.

We're going out!
After the movie, we came home and made a hamburger dinner. Jackson's favorite thing is helping people cook so he loved helping KD make the fries, Grammy make the guacamole, and Da-Da grill.

Sunday, we all went to church. We were starting new adult classes this week and we all went to a class called Crazy Love. It is being taught by two of our friends, Waylon and Brad, and it was wonderful. Lynne even commented that she can't wait to read the book they discussed in class.


This is not the best picture but it was the best of what we had. We couldn't get Jackson to cooperate. Of course, when Grammy and KD had him, he cheesed it up for the perfect picture...


After services and a quick meal, Jack and Lynne packed up and headed home. A few hours later, we welcomed Wesley's brother Joel and his family. They were passing through and stopped for dinner, more presents, and a fix-it session!
How many Bender boys does it take to fix the dishwasher? 5 I guess!

It was great to be able to spend time with the Benders and celebrate this happy season with them.
