Williams Christmas Party

We had a really fun Williams Christmas party this year. Aunt Denise did a wonderful job planning it. She even got Santa to come, which was a hit for most of the kids. Alexa only got close enough to Santa just to grab a bag of candy out of his hands. At least she said "thank you" as she was running away as fast as she could. So many members of our family came. It was so fun visiting with everyone. We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people.




Santa is a wonderful symbol of service to our family. When my children ask me if Santa is real, I tell them the truth. That there are a lot of Santas in this world. Anyone that gives to others during Christmas is a Santa. We have so much fun make believing together about Santa coming on Christmas Eve. My children know the truth, but it does not take away from the magic and excitement of Christmas!!!

Its Our 11th Anniversary!

Im so happy that we have been married for 11 years now. Wow, how the time has flown by.
We have had some really wonderful times and some not so great times. But it feels good to know that we can get through anything with the Lords help and if we always try hard to work things out, and communicate.

Thank you Curt for working so hard for our family and our marriage. You are my very best friend.

Thank you for listening to me and helping me feel better when I'm having a bad day.

Thank you for being so understanding and letting me be me, and letting me have some time for me.

Thank you for being so supportive of all my little hobbies and passions.

Thank you for loving our children and being such a wonderful daddy to them. They love you so much and really look up to you.

Thanks for always teaching them about life. I know that they will always remember what you teach them.

Thank you for dancing with me lately. It has been so much fun!

Thank you for loving me and asking me to be your wife 11 years ago.

I love you Curtis honey, always and forever!

Heather Feather loves the Leather!

My aunt Jane hired me to paint her walls with this fun faux finish. I love how it turned out. It looks like leather to me. When I get my own house, I think I'm going to have to copy it.

Cute little blue cake!


My friend hired me to make this cake for her niece. It was such a fun little cake to make. I loved how the pearls turned out with pearl dust painted on them. And I love the ruffle. I have been wanting to make fondant look like material for a long time.

Curtis is 35 now, wow!

Pour Curtis had a horrible start to his birthday, on Nov. 9th. I forgot to dry his work clothes when he asked me to, so he had to go to work in wet clothes, out in the cold morning air. Then when he got back from work, he had a pounding head ache. I made him take Tylenol so he could enjoy his birthday dinner at Chuck-A-Rama. The Tylenol did its job well and he was able to enjoy the rest of the day.

The kids helped me decorate our room for Curts Bday. They also made tons of cards for their daddy that they just adore.

We went to dinner at Chuck-A-Rama with Curtis and Penny. It was delicious, like always! Curt got a gift card to Outback Steakhouse from Curtis and Penny, $20 from my mom and $20 from me.
Later on in the month, we had a Bentley family dinner for the November birthdays. Along with Curtis, it was Braden, Coden and Alyssas birthdays too. I surprised Curtis and invited his family to the dinner. He was really happy to see them. Thanks Curtis, Penny, Marie and Kaylyn for coming.





It was so fun making this Native American drum cake. One of Curts favorite things to do is sing and drum with his family's drum group. I love how the fondant looked like stretched leather.
Adrianne made Alyssas cake, so she could have a fun girly cake. Adrianne did such an amazing job. It was her first time decorating with fondant, and she was an natural. She even made the fondant herself. Amazing! We had so much fun decorating together and I think its a start of a new tradition for us.
