december days.

do i start out every post the same way?

this month is flying by.

we have been busy with parties, basketball games, shopping, working, & enjoying a snow storm.

before the actual Christmas weekend begins, i wanted to wrap up all the other things we have been enjoying.

truly, the most wonderful time of the year.

bentleys favorite song is the 12 days of christmas.

LOVES the nativity story.

excited for presents.

candy canes are his favorite.

requested a staff like santa & joseph (unless santa finds a chimney in our house, i don't know if there will be one under the tree)

has fun cheering on his basketball girls.

merry christmas!

& a happy new year.
