Ward Christmas Party, and a Baby!

For the past two weeks Ben has been studying and taking finals. Which means we have done pretty much nothing... and I have been lonely. But his last one is tomorrow morning! Freedom!
This past weekend was our ward's Christmas party. The theme was "A Night in Bethlehem." There were no tables, people sat on rugs on the ground and we ate some kind of middle eastern noodle dish and meatballs. Lucky you could "reserve room at the Inn", which meant that people who were not "floor sittable" could sit at a table. We got in the Inn! The dinner was pretty good, and then there was a Christmas program. It was a really nice night, and all the kids were dressed in Bethlehem-time clothes were super cute.

Our friends Aaron and Shandee Bennett had their baby! He was born Saturday night and we were able to visit them in the hospital on Sunday. We also visited them this afternoon at their place. He is soooo cute and seeing him makes us excited for our own little boy that will be here in 2 months! Look at how cute Carter Bennett is!

We leave for Utah on Thursday and are SUPER excited!
