CHRISTMAS FUN

Cooper was really able to get into the Christmas spirit for the first time this year.  He LOVED Santa.  Every time he would see a Santa he would say, “ho, ho, ho!”  It was adorable.  Needless to say, we were so excited for Cooper to meet Santa.  He was a little cranky after waiting in line for about 45 minutes.  Colt and I fully expected your typical 1 year old “crying” picture.  He was definitely apprehensive when I sat him on Santa’s lap and kept reaching for us to pick him up.  Luckily, our Santa was awesome and grabbed Cooper’s hands so you couldn’t tell.  The result this adorable picture where Cooper looks perfectly content hanging out with Santa! Mission accomplished.  

Many of you know how special the movie “The Grinch” is to Colt and I.  Not only is it my favorite Christmas movie, but Colt also used it in his proposal.  Cooper loves to read so we were so excited to get him “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”  Aunt Moo sent Cooper these super cute Grinch pajamas and stuffed animal too.   

One of my favorite things we did over the holidays was making Christmas ornaments.  I found this idea on Pinterest and decided it was the perfect homemade ornament to make for Cooper’s grandparents.  We made “MistleTOES” for Gaga and Nana and his great-grandma’s all got handprints.  Cooper and I had so much fun playing with the clay and the ornaments turned out pretty darn cute.  Cooper was even nice enough to make one for Mommy’s tree.
