Bentleyville

The other night we went to Bentleyville! The was Gabriel's second time going, though he doesn't remember last year, and it was Eli's first time going.

Gabriel was in pure heaven the entire time we were there. He loved the lights!

This would be him, trying to figure out how to eat his cookie with gloves on...

Mama had to let him take his glove off while he ate his cookie which then started a chain reaction of him continually taking off his glove, but we won't go there:)

This would be Eli, being extremely tired and just watching the lights from the stroller before he fell asleep for the remainder of the time.

The cutest and most fun part of the evening is when Gabriel saw the people dressed up as snowmen, penguins, and reindeer! The first time he saw a big snowman he ran up to it and gave it a huge hug! It was the cutest thing ever! From that point on he would walk slowly, looking at the lights until he saw one of his fluffy friends and then he would take off running for them and give them the biggest hug!

I had the hardest time getting a picture of him hugging them though.

He would be the black blob growing out the penguins side:)

This picture was when all these people were posing for a picture and Gabriel ran right into their picture to give the reindeer a hug! Haha!

We even got to roast marshmallows!

We had so much fun! We can't wait for another warm (well, there's not really such a thing as 'warm' in Minnesota in December, but maybe there will be another 20-30 degree night, hopefully) night to go again!

Bentleyville would happen to be the reason why Eli's name is not Bentley. I love the name Bentley for a boy, but Josh said the only thing he thought of was Bentleyville. Sigh... Oh well, maybe I'll still get it for a middle name if we have another boy someday!
