Papa & Bebe All to Myself!

After Christmas, I went to visit with Papa & Bebe for a few days and we had a blast! Of course, we always do! I always love my special time at their house. They also found time to take me to do some of my favorite things - go to the park and to Monkey Joe's! Thank you, Papa & Bebe - I love you so much and love spending time with you!



Sometimes doing things the creative way leads to face plants:



And this is just so that my bouncy run will be forever preserved:

Christmas Part II

The day after Christmas, we got to have another Christmas at Bebe & Papa's house with Uncle George and Aunt Marilyn. It was another wonderful day with our family, delicious food and lots of playing and laughing!



This boy sure is happy to see his Bebe!




Hmm, looks like Bebe didn't do the best job decorating her tree. I'll just spruce this up a little:




Time for presents! And of course I help everyone open their presents.





Cooper is the best Christmas present our little family could possibly get!




Coopy loves our Daddy!




And I am loving these blocks that Uncle George and Aunt Marilyn got for me:




Coopy and Mama cuddling:




And being a silly goose, as usual, with Daddy:




Our wonderful Papa and Bebe:




And Papa being silly with Cooper - he's like "oh, you were over there? Peek-a-Boo then!"




Cooper really wanted to eat these candles. Luckily, nobody else thought that would be such a good idea:

Merry Christmas!

Christmas this year was extra perfect, if that is even possible. We had the best Christmas tree yet, Santa brought wonderful presents for me and Cooper (I think we must have been extra good boys this year), all of our sweet family came over and we had a huge, yummy meal. What else could we even ask for?

Santa brought just what I asked for - a Spiderman book - but also surprised me with my first tricycle! I couldn't even believe it - when I came around the corner and saw it Christmas morning, I was so overwhelmed that I crumbled onto the floor (I tend towards the dramatic sometimes). Cooper loved his presents too, and he even shared them with me. All of a sudden, baby toys are irresistable to me :)

Anyways, it was just a fun, happy day all around - Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Checking out my other gifts from Santa:



I think Cooper likes his presents too! All are drool-proof and chewable, which are really his only criteria.




Cooper is a pro at this unwrapping business!





Enjoying my Christmas chocolate. Breakfast, what?



That Cooper is one happy little man these days!



Visiting with Bebe and showing her my toys:



Kissy kissy! Uncle Zach showing some love for his Mama:



Is my Papa silly or what?



Looking at my new Spiderman book with Uncle Dan:

Present time!




Enjoying some quality time with Uncle Dan:



Molly wishes she could color too:




Now, time to take my bike out for a spin!




Catch me if you can, Fahad!

Christmas Cookies at Grandmama's

Each year on Christmas Eve, we head over to Grandmama's house to decorate and bake Christmas cookies. While the cookies were baking, we also all got to open one present and I got to be the Elf that handed them out! What fun and I can't wait until tomorrow! Merry Christmas Eve!


Enjoying my lunch before cookie-making time:



Aunt Sara was brave enough to feed me my lunch - which I helped smear all over both of us! I love you Aunt Sara! Thanks for always being so much fun.



Making cookies is serious business! Grandmama needs to buckle down and get to work.





I want to help too!



Handing out presents is tough, but it is good for muscle-building:




Hey, just because I've never had a Christmas before doesn't mean I don't know how to tear into a present!
