Our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Dec. 24th at 11:57 am, Benson Jon was born to us. He was 8 lbs. 5 oz, 20 1/2 inches long. Stuart and I just loved staring into his eyes. He is such a darling boy. Tradition has it in the Spendlove family to wear new pj's from Grandma/pa Spendlove so here our kids are in their new pj's from Grandma/pa Spendlove. We had planned on having all of the kids with us to take the picture, but after we got to the hospital, we learned that children under 14 were not permitted into the hospital because of the swine flu. We understood, but were quite upset that they would have to wait to see Benson and that I wouldn't get to the other 3 kids on Christmas day.







Our Christmas gift to our family was Sea World passes for 2 years. Stuart took the kids to Sea World on Christmas Day and they all had a blast. Benson and I of course stayed in the hospital for some quiet time.


Stuart had a little fun with Nephi while he took a nap at Sea World.

It looks like and sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas. You are too much Stuart playing with Nephi while he is asleep.
