Christmas Morning

Cameron and I were so excited all month to see what Cooper would be like this Christmas morning. This was the first year Cooper was showing excitement about Christmas and Santa Claus. When we woke up Christmas we did get an unexpected surprise. A stomach bug. Cooper woke up throwing up. Cooper was up thirty minutes before he even felt like going to see what Santa Claus brought. Thankfully the virus did not last long. He finally got into playing and our day turned out great.

Christmas with Nannie

We spent some time with Nannie on Christmas Eve at the Terrace. We gave her a special angel to watch over her. Nannie thought it was really pretty. Cooper took it from Nannie and placed it by a picture of Nannie and Buddy. I felt that was an appropriate place for the angel. Nannie and Cooper played with the Bob the Builder hat his Aunt Cindy gave him.

Christmas Eve

We all wondered if we would make it to Ninna and Papa's house for Christmas Eve. It rained so hard, it was hard to see to drive. Thankfully we made it. By the time we made it to Gallatin, the rain had stopped.
Everything looked wonderful. All the children looked adorable in their Christmas clothes. The new addition to Ninna and Papa's house was beautiful. And the food... well, that was just delicious as always. It is always fun at Ninna and Papa's, especially when my cousins are there to share the fun with me.

The Fun Time- Gifts

Ninna and Papa gave Cooper a Melissa and Doug activity cart. It has several activities in one. He loves that cart. He pushes it all over the house. It really keeps him busy. Uncle Rob and Aunt Cindy gave Cooper a Christmas coin, and a whole basket of Bob the Builder things. Oh my!! Was that a hit or what?!?! Cooper just adores Bob the Builder. He walks around the house with the gear Aunt Cindy gave him. What a great day.

Christmas Party at My Daddy's Daycare

Cooper was so excited about going to his school's Christmas Party. He knew Mr. Tracy would dress up as Santa. He adores Mr. Tracy. Cooper was supposed to bring a gift and a bag of chips. The funny thing was, most of the kids that showed up to the party also brought chips. The kids who were supposed to bring something else did not show up. (It was pretty cold that day) So, there were plenty of chips for that party. The kids were really too excited about eating anyway. Cooper was more excited about giving Tracy his gift than opening his own. The party didn't last too long. It lasted long enough for these sweet children.

O Christmas Tree

Seeing Santa at the Renaissance Center

After attending a birthday party at the Renaissance Center before Christmas, we saw Santa Claus going to his sled. Cooper just hopped up on his knee and hugged him. I was thinking this would be the year where he would be a little scared of Santa. This Santa was fabulous. He was wonderful with Cooper.
