Grandma Atkin got Benny tons of treats and toys.
I decided to wrap his presents this year hoping he would learn
to open them. Well, sure enough he did! I grabbed the camera
and started filming. He so cute!

Art Field Trip

Early in November James and I went on a Art Field Trip with Dixie State College. It was a lot of fun and worth 4 credits!
These were taken at the Huntington Museum.

A bunch of versions of light bulbs.
