Christmas time.

every morning for the past few weeks bentley would wake up & say "mom, is it Christmas DAY? or Christmas TIME?"

what a Christmas time we have been having.
busy, but everything got checked off our list.
except making Christmas cookies,
we still need to do that.

our Christmas break isn't over yet, we still will continue to celebrate into the new year by going down to Kansas to be with Shawns side of the family!

since i ended up not posting any pictures during the Christmas season, thanks for browsing through this extra long post. it was fun for me to look back & remember the days.
