And To All A Good Night

Merry Christmas!

I have never experienced winter before like I have in the past week. It has been amazing. After a few feet of snow in one day, we have seen consistent snow fall for the past week with temperatures usually in the teens or lower. Special thanks to Matt and Dad for shoveling out the Jetta for us today, I'd forgotten what it looked like. Here are Tim and Steven fulfilling a dare from Tim to stand outside in the cold. This was when Tim was enjoying the snow, as opposed to the next day when he accused us of keeping him prisoner in our house because we wouldn't drive him anywhere.

On Christmas Eve Steven decided he wanted to try his hand at the culinary arts and make his first turkey. He did amazingly well, and everyone came over to share the fruits.

We had a fantastic Christmas day, really low key. We had to wake Cooper up to open his presents, since we were expected at my parents to open presents there. I thought I had the schedule all figured out until Tim started texting me an hour and a half ahead of schedule. So, Cooper woke up very early for his first Christmas morning.

Jackie, thank you so much for Cooper's blocks! He loves them so much already. Love you!

We headed over and opened presents, and we had a blast.

Thank you Mom for Cooper's new toy, he loves it! Since he has come home he's used it more for music and dancing then a walking tool...

I learned this Christmas that gifts are all different, and that they usually aren't the ones that are wrapped or expected. Cooper ended up getting the best Christmas present of all. Tomorrow he's going to get two big brothers and a very fun Uncle. We are so excited to get to have Matt, Kaden, and Mason here with us for a while. How did Cooper score that one?

We hope that every one's Christmas was as happy as ours.

I'm ready for my long winters nap.
