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.

B spent the day at DJ & Andreas while we went to TWO Christmas parties. we were all worn out!

remember when it snowed?!


Christmas shopping!


more errands with my helper. he had been wanting a Christmas cookie for so long.

thanksgiving week.

this year, for the first time since Bentley was 5 months old, we didn't go down to kansas to spend the holiday with Shawns side of the family. we are back to an every-other-year type schedule. traveling down there is super fun! but so is staying home. we started the week with two basketball games, one at home, one 2 hours away (for the first time this season, B & I traveled with the team!) and we ended the week picking out our Christmas tree & celebrating Shawns birthday!

sunday before thanksgiving. i never want to forget how Bentley told me at least 5 times throughout the day how pretty i looked in my green dress.

on the road with the basketball team. you can only imagine how excited B was to be front seat of a charter bus.

the morning after. SO tired!

gluten free pumpkin pie!

Bentley got to sit at the kids table.

the big kids table!

the cousins who were able to come!
the day after thanksgiving, on the hunt for our tree!
bentley thought this looked like a good one.


2013 tree!



it's so perfect!

i don't have any pictures with the rest of the family who came kansas to be here for thanksgiving/shawns parents were here too! so we got to have a fun birthday party for him on saturday! i was so excited to have a good excuse to make summer's reeces peanut butter cups
