Christmas in Texas

We sadly had to return to the cold this week after spending a wonderful time with my family in Texas! We had so much fun as always. We had several surprises: Both sets of my aunts and uncles came to see us and 2 of my cousins with thier beautiful daughters (my cousins I had not seen in at least 5 years!), my parents watched ALL the kids for us and Shelley, Ryan, Boz and I got to go out to dinner for the first time ever!, and then our little Cooper threw up the WHOLE plane ride home! What a surprise that was! Boz was nudging me as I was obviously trying to snooze (he couldn't speak he was in such shock) and pointing to Coop. Needless to say the extra change of clothes I brought only lasted 30 minutes before we needed another set. What misery. My sweet husband cleaned Coop, the poor car seat and his new sweater every time.






We convinced Luke that he needed to wear a Steelers jersey with Coop for the big game on Sun. He looked at me and asked "Are they called the Steelers because they steal everything?". Big fan can you tell?










Christmas

We had such a wonderful Christmas! Cole loved the wrapping paper and we loved Cooper's excitement. He loved everything and wanted each one to be taken out of the box so we could play with it instantly. The last gift was a bike. We had wrapped it up so when he started taking the paper off and noticed it was a bike he started yelling and jumping up and down "It's a bike, it's a bike!". It was priceless- one of my favorite Christmas memories!!!
