Christmas

Benjamin's first Christmas was action-packed. I was supposed to work Christmas Eve, but when I got there that morning, they sent me home!! I was so excited. Sorry the update is late, but I had to work the 2 days after Christmas too. I have just now recovered and am blogging again.


We celebrated with Matt's family the Friday night before Christmas since Susan and I both had to work the weekend and Christmas Eve.

Thanks Nonny and G for the toybox
Benjamin loves books

We started out Christmas Eve night with Matt's family at his Uncle Brent's house

Can Ben get the whole box in his mouth?

Christmas Day--we got to "sleep in", Ben didn't get up until 7am (he normally gets up at 6am). We spent some time at home...

Santa came...he even left something for Matt and I..
But Ben was higher on the nice list...even a putter!!!
