Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Home Shots

Cooper loved helping Brad decorate the tree... he was REALLY helpful... okay, so he caused more havoc than help, but it was still fun!

"Here's the Tree, Dad! I found it!".... and then fell into the box. :-) HA HA HA!


Playing with cousins at Thanksgiving and Grandpa Grable. We hosted thanksgiving this year at our house. Brad's mom had back surgery on November 10 and wasn't quite up to hosting yet, and we had a great time and made way too much food. The kids, minus Cooper due to nap time, went outside with Brad, Jared, Kelly and Grandpa Grable and rode four wheelers and played. I enjoyed the quiet inside with my hot cider and black Friday ads. Cooper and I stayed home from shopping b/c he has an ear infection, but I sent my wishlist with other shoppers!

Brad and Cooper watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.

Hanging with Grandma Lawrence at Thanksgiving!

This walker is a blessing and curse.... it's great b/c he's contained, but bad b/c he can get into anything! No-No City! He uses it quite a bit at Courtney's house (she let us borrow it for the weekend).

Almost walking! He pushes this thing everywhere... and it goes really fast on hardwood! :-) Angela Huff let us borrow it... apparently many a child have learned to walk thanks to this thing. We predict he'll be walking around Christmas or shortly therafter. Lord help us! :-)

Checking the laundry! Cooper will watch the laundry go around as long as we let him stand there. Too funny.

CHEESE! Caught trying to escape to the laundry room to rearrange/eat the shoes.

He loves to look out the window and chat to whatever/whoever will listen. We have to make sure all blinds are out of reach b/c no window is sacred anymore. He especially likes looking out the window in the living room, especially when Brad is working outside. He recenlty discovered the patio door, and the dead flies all around. EWWWWW. I thought sweeping daily would prevent that, but I guess not!

Riding in style! One toy, two options. Great times.
