Merry Late Christmas

Christmas was tons of fun this year. We spent Christmas Eve with Andy's family, which is always a great time. Christmas morning we woke up early (615 ish) well, Charlie had gotten up at 2:30 and wanted to go downstairs but he got denied, and we all saw what Santa had left!! Charlie was so excited as he ran down the stairs he just started yelling. He was yelling "BEARS, BEARS, BEARS" we have no idea why (there was nothing bear related in the heap of Christmas presents) I think he was truly that excited and half asleep still. After we ripped open our presents it was off to my parents house for another round of gifts! Later in the day we went to go see Bedtime Stories. We're hoping to make the movie theatre thing a tradition every year on Christmas...we'll see how that goes!

My boos

We put on our Sunday best today and had Christmas pictures taken. It used to be so much easier to do when they were babies...at least we got a few good ones. Merry Christmas from the boys!

Way to go Cooper!

We're so happy and proud of Cooper! Last week he had has evaluation with the public school system to determine if he would be eligible for "special" school for his speech. (Meaning he could qualify for free preschool at the local elementary school and receive speech therapy there) After meeting with a speech therapist for a year I am happy to say Cooper was ABOVE the normal range for his age! No more therapy is necessary for him at this time! YAY!

Brotherly love

It's not often that Andy's family is all together under one roof...so when most of them are together there is usually a lot of cameras going off! This is Andy and his two younger brothers.

Winter Wonderland

After Cooper's party on Saturday we went out to Andy's mom's work. They were having a "winter festival". They brought in tons of snow, had Santa, hot chocolate, Christmas tree lighting, you name it they had it! The boys threw snowballs at each other and Charlie couldn't believe it when Santa actually waved to him!!

My poopsie turned 3

I can't believe how fast time flies. On the 5th Cooper turned 3! We had a fun little party at home for him ( a WALL-E party to be exact) all of his little friends came and all of our family. It was a beautiful day, and we all had a lot of fun.


Before the party started we had to decorate. The boys had a lot of fun with balloons...

No, I didn't do this! Of course it was my mom.

We had TWO bounce houses and our swingest (plus all the normal stuff laying around the backyard) It was quite the party house!

Superstar!

Charlie picked out his outfit before school on this day, and he just really wanted me to take pictures of him. This last one reminds me of Mary Catherine Gallagher...Superstar!
