Dear Bently,

Last night we went and saw the lights at temple square! I was SO excited! Everything this holiday season is more exciting due to the fact that it's your first time to do just about EVERYTHING! It was pretty fun despite the fact that it was freezing! And while we walked from our parking spot to the temple a choir concert had just gotten out and they were all headed to our cars. It was like trying to run through sand. Your Dad took the stroller off roading to get past them! (Aka onto the grass!) Haha! :) The lights were breathtakingly beautiful. I told your Dad, "I love that there are still beautiful places in the world, despite all the ugly." I hope you find those beautiful places through your whole life Bently. The world is just getting more and more corrupt but as long as you look hard enough, there are beautiful places! :)

Today me and you spent 3 hours shopping. We shopped straight through your nap time! You were so good Bently. And everywhere we went we were stopped by people who couldn't stop telling me how adorable you are. I always said Thank you like I was shocked they would come out of there way to tell me that but secretly on the inside I was thinking, "I know he's the cutest thing to every exsist!" I loved spending all that time just me and you. Well I seriously hate getting you out of the carseat at every location, but besides that, it was awesome! :) I love pushing the shopping cart as far away from me as I can while I hold onto it, then pull it forward towards me super fast and blow on your face. Every, single, time it makes you giggle. And there is nothing more magical in the whole world then your giggle!

Then tonight, you fell asleep in my arms. As you get older you do this less and less. I think you only did it tonight because you were so tired from not having any naps this morning! But I loved it! I held you close and kissed your baby lips, and whispered I loved you over and over again. I love holding my sleeping baby! I held you till my muscles were sore and my arms stiff! I wish you would never grow up! Please try and stop!
I love you with all my heart!
Mommy
