Merry Christmas to You!

I really wanted to send our Christmas card to all of you and wish you a Merry Christmas but since Christmas is so close I thought I would share it on here with you so you would get it before Christmas! :) (Christmas came too fast this year!) I hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Family Pictures

The horse in the picture with us was so funny because as soon as we started to take pictures he came behind us and moved his head right between ours. It was so funny! As soon as we were done he walked away. Silly horse!Our Family Handsome little man We had a hard time getting Cooper to smile but we got some really cute ones!

We really appreciate Warren & Benita for the awesome job they did at taking our pictures! Kaylee and Mikelle were a great help at keeping Cooper happy! Thanks girls!

Cooper wanted to play on this tire horse the entire time!

SANTA!!!!

Last Night we went to the College Bookstore Sale. (Nick's mom works there so we go every year) Santa comes and so we went to get a picture with Santa. Cooper was funny because he walked up to Santa very shyly and climbed up on his lap and just sat there mesmerized. Santa asked Coop what he wanted for Christmas and he told him a train! He has never told us he wanted a train before so we were quite surprised. He had a lot of fun. It is always fun to see Good ol' St. Nick!

O ChRiStMaS TrEe

This is my favorite time of year. I love decorating for and getting into the spirit of Christmas. This year I was lucky enough to have Nick put the lights on the tree for me. I usually am the one who ends up doing it and it is absolutely my LEAST favorite thing in the world! I get so frustrated and not to mention...it leaves red scratchy marks all over your arms!!

We started to decorate the tree and Cooper put on a few bells and then played in the boxes. And ate apples while watching, "The Grinch!" Here is our tree! We set up our little village and hung our stockings up.

Chrsitmas Tree Hunting

We went out to Fredonia to Bennett's house to go Christmas Tree hunting up on the Kiabab. Before we left for the mountain Cooper and Clayton were having so much fun playing with the billy goats and driving around in the dump truck.

We headed up to the mountain and there was TONS of SNOW! It was so pretty!

There was a fallen tree blocking our way so Ben got out and cut it so we could get through.

Coop had a blast playing in the snow, eating it and making snow angels. Once we picked out our trees and cut them down Cooper would try and drag the tree, it was funny! He would keep saying, "Me strong...tree too heavy!" He is such a funny boy!

We had to get a family picture with our tree.

Coop has a new love for Charleston Chews! He ate almost the WHOLE BOX on the way back to Bennett's house!

Thanks Ben and Haley for letting us come with you!!

Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving with the Brooks/Hydes. It was a lot of fun. We had it at the church because I don't think anyone would want 61 people in their house at one time! haha We had a lot of yummy food and desserts and had fun visiting together.

We came home for dinner and Nick, Coop and me watched a Christmas movie and just hung out. I love being able to just relax.

Later that night around 10:30 p.m. I went and picked up Brooke and hit the outlet stores. We went to OshKosh and got some things and then headed up to Children's Place. There was some awesome deals... the only bad part was standing in line for 1 1/2 hr. It was so.... long. I ended up doing most of my shopping in line. I was so tired of standing in line that I went home after that. I made it home by 1:45 a.m. I didn't last too long!! I was happy though that I scored some awesome deals!
