We had a blast creating our Christmas card. Briana wasn't so sure about Santa so that was about as close as she was going to get. She still goes down to the fireplace and turns on the tree and says "Cheese." This was such a great card. I loved all of the options and variety. I can't wait to send them out.

Christmas Cards

It is that time of year. The time of the year that I sit down and think about what pose I can make my children do for our Christmas card. I know that I should do a card that has all of us since we are the Coopers but I would rather just have my kids. They are really who we are. I have finally figured out the perfect pose. I am going to have my kids wearing their Christmas jammies in front of the fireplace and their stockings. Now, we just have to decorate so I can do that. The next step is finding the perfect card. I am picky about my card. It needs to be fun and show our personality, but it also has to say Merry Christmas. I know I am one of "those" people, but it isn't Happy Holidays, it is Merry Christmas. We wouldn't even have Christmas if Jesus Christ hadn't been born. I will get off my soapbox now. So, I went on the search for the perfect card. I wasn't sure if I could even find one. But I did. I found the perfect card at Shutterfly. They have so many cute cards with so many options. You can have a folded card or a flat card. It can be square or rectangle. The other awesome feature is they can mail it for you. This saves so much time and who couldn't use extra time this Christmas season.

Thanksgiving

Well, we have just celebrated Thanksgiving. It is this time of the year that I am thankful for my family. I love the excitement my children have when they see their cousins and grandparents. I love the relationship they have with their older cousins. I love that they get to spend time with their aunt and uncle who live in Florida. I am just so thankful for the close knit family and the relationships my children have built with their cousins.

5 years old

Yesterday, my little guy turned 5. I cannot believe he is that old. I seems like just yesterday he was sitting up and learning to crawl and walk. Next year, he will head off to kindergarten.

For his birthday, he wanted to go to Logan's. He loves when they say Ye-Haw. When we left, Wes wanted to know if anyone else needed to go anywhere. Ayden said that since he was the birthday boy, he wanted to go to Target and get a slushy. When we got home, he got a phone call from Mickey Mouse. He was so excited that Mickey knew it was his birthday.

Ayden was glad it was his birthday, now he is anxiously waiting for his birthday party.

Potty Time :)

I know I shouldn't get too excited but Briana is fascinated with the potty. We have put her on it so she can get used to it. She loves to wear her panties and mine. On Sunday, we put her on it and she peed. She was so happy. She had to bring everyone in to see her pee. Today when she woke up she was dry. I put her on the potty and again she peed. She brought everyone in and showed them and clapped every time she showed it to someone. We will see how things progress.

I see where I rate

I was not home when Bri went to bed last night. This morning, I left before she was awake. I called home to tell my MIL why the cop was sitting on our road (apparently we have some people going through the yard at Sycamore Hills). Bri woke up so Becky put her on the phone. I said, "Hi, Bri, how are you doing?" She responds with, "feed me." Food comes before me. Oh well, at least she eats :)

Girls

We asked Ayden about Sunday School. He said it was good. We asked if his friend was last week was there. He said, "Yeah, but she needed alone time today. Then she came around and sat by me." Wes just looked at him and said, "Girls, what are you going to do?"
