Caroling Caroling through the snow....
So I must admit I get these crazy ideas that sound good and then turn out well... interesting! I thought it would be a fun activity to go caroling at a nursing home with our families. We went with our neighbors awhile ago and the kids had a blast and it was a really good lesson on helping others. So it was the kids and I, TJ's cousins wife and her three kids, and TJ's parents and sister's two girls. It was snowing while driving there and we were practicing in the car, really getting into the Christmas spirit. Well, Mom played the piano and I made jingle bells for the kids and we sang six or so songs and my niece played a song on the piano too. But, seriously I hope they didn't have their hearing aids in that night!! We were awful and it was hilarious because they didn't care they were clapping and singing and we were just trying to sing to the off key piano! The kids had fun though and then we had hot coco and cookies after. So here are a few pic's of the Bentley Bunch (our chosen choir name! hee hee!) Note to everyone if you cannot sing well make sure you invite people who can!

That is one of the sweetest ideas, I am sure nobody cared you were not that good, they probably just loved having you there. You really should get like some kind of mom of the year award, you are amazing.

Oh thats okay if it didn't sound all that great. I am sure the older folks just loved it. That is so sweet of you guys to do that, that kind of thing is what Christmas is all about. Once again you have impressed me!
That is so great that you guys did that. I am sure the people that you sang to loved it. I bet you sounded great. Good Job, what a great lesson for the kids. Your such a good mom.
