Belnap Christmas Party

We spent Christmas this year with Brock's family in Mayfield. We had a lot of fun spending time with the family and catching up on what's new with everyone. Our group was smaller than usual because Shilo and Trevor couldn't make it this year, we really missed you guys. We had a great time and of course it came and went too fast!

Bennett Party

We had our Bennett Family Christmas Party on Dec. 20th at my brother Mike's house. We had a lot of fun spending time together and celebrating Christmas. We had a Pajama Party, breakfast for dinner,played games, exchanged gifts and snacked on all the yummy treats. We wish we could have spent more time with the family but it's a busy time of year with two families to fit in. It was great to see everyone! My Great Nephew Deondre

Merry and Bright

We finally got our Christmas lights up on our house last week! I think it turned out really great, thanks Brock. (he tried to get lights on the other peak but it was too icy-maybe next year?) It was more time consuming than we figured it would be and I think we waited for the coldest day of the year too-but it was fun.

So, I was able to convince Brock in making a Gingerbread House with me on Sunday. It was really fun and quite messy. It's not the prettiest candy made house you'll see but we like it!

The Adventures of the Belnap hunt for the perfect Christmas Tree


We purchased our Christmas Tree on Saturday this last weekend and it was quite an adventure. We found the perfect tree while we were out running errands but didn't have the ability to haul it home at that time, so we decided to come back. Of course it was gone when we came back, so the hunt for tree was on again. So we shopped around and unfortunately it was freezing cold out. (a whopping 13* outside) Needless to say we were chilled to the bone and lacking patience to really look at trees. So, we randomly picked one and bought it. When we got home we were happy that it was a pretty tree. It is super full and round, kinda short but pretty. We love it.


We spent the night decorating the tree and reminiscing about some of our special ornaments and past Christmas'. I love the nostalgic feelings and smells a Christmas Tree brings into our home.



We are ready for Christmas in the Belnap household and are enjoying this happy time of year!!!





Brock surprised me and ordered the rest of our living room set over Thanksgiving! We are really happy to have these special additions in our lives, it completes us. With our Christmas tree it's a little snug but we will have more space after Christmas. I don't know if we will have enough room for the coffee table and ottoman too, I hope we can figure it out. (notice Snoop Dogg on the T.V.- that made me laugh)
