Santa and a Gingerbread House

The first weekend of December we took Cooper to see Santa at Windermere. Cooper was soooo excited to see Santa this year. I could barely get his coat off fast enough while he was running to give Santa a big hug. I wasn't expecting this at all, so I was really lucky to get a picture in time.

Cooper told Santa that he wants a truck for Christmas and that he's going to put Mommy's cookies and some milk out for him. Then he sat on his lap and smiled for the pictures! Who is this kid?!

Making a Gingerbread House

6 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I love this time of year!

 The weather, the lights, the Christmas carols, the shopping... I love it!

We've been getting hit with a lot of snow lately. As a teacher, David's really enjoying the 2 hour delays, especially when they are already on half-day schedules because of conferences. He's actually liking the snow this year and has been keeping a close eye on the forecasts to see when our next big snow storms will be coming through.

Cooper just can't get enough of the snow. His great grandma bought him a sled while she was in town visiting and we took him out on it last weekend. I wish I could have gotten some good video. He loved sledding!

 The rest of the pictures are from Halloween and November:

David and I went to a Halloween party.
He went as a vampire and I was a cat.

Carving pumpkins!

Cooper wouldn't dare get his hands dirty, silly boy. But we still had fun.

(We also went out on Black Friday and got a 40" TV for this room because the one seen here died on us a couple days after this picture)
