Merry Christmas 2008

This was the first year that Cooper really knew who Santa was and what he was all about! Cooper has been very excited about presents, and this morning, there they were under the tree waiting on him. Despite his cold and red nose, he didn't let it slow him down. Santa brought him a tool set like Papa's and a Little People ark. Mommy and Papa also got him a vacuum cleaner (that really sucks stuff up, which is cool for Mommy and Cooper), a Playdoh set, and a refrigerator toy that teaches him letters. It was so much fun being together as a family this Christmas, and I am so thankful for my boys. And we tried really hard to help Cooper understand the real meaning of Christmas this year, which can sometimes get lost among the wrapping paper and toys. In the car last week, Coop said, "Baby Jesus say Ho Ho Ho." On the bright side, at least he remembered that Christmas was about Baby Jesus. We'll work on the Ho Ho Ho part next year.
