Cooper's First Christmas

Wonderful times with our little man on his first Christmas. I'm sure next year will be a bit more interesting for him . . . but that will happen soon enough.


Chigger Kitty has adjusted well to her new home. Cooper thinks she's the coolest thing in the house - she's not too sure about the squealing kid though.

Let the fun begin!


These little shiny things are cool . . . .



Timeout on the red team . . .

Thanks for the bottle Momma. I'm going back in . . .


I'm beginning to get the hang of this!



No, Maggie won't fit!
And then he tells us the next day . . . all he wanted was a box!




Aunt Neva . . . Christmas time makes me tired.



Our best gift came back in March . . . he's grown a little since.




Have a wonderful and safe New Year's weekend! -TPC

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

Christmas! Coop's first Christmas!

Two weekends ago, we had a wonderful outing sans little man for the Processes Unlimited Holiday . . . nope, Christmas Party. We all had a great dinner and saw the ice carvings at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine. Very, very cool . . . figuratively and literally. Thanks ProU!

A gingerbread house made of ice. I've been in quite a few ice houses . . . never one quite like this.


Holly's always wanted a goat. This one seems pretty easy to care for.


We had fun this last weekend meeting Santa (Ken) at the Allen Harley Shop.



Cooper did really well . . . unfortunately, the smiles didn't show up in our pics.

The smiles were certainly plentiful on the other side of the shop. We both thought that a new scooter would make a wonderful present! Oh, what color should we pick?



And look, they have mirrors too! Smiles at the Harley shop, smiles at Bass Pro, digs big ole slobbery dogs . . . I believe Cooper's going to make a great co-conspirator. Heehee!


Bath time (aka, swimming) is the best . . . for us all.

I hope the rest of your week and weekend are wonderful. He's checking his list, checking it twice . . . .

December . . . really?

Yes, it's true. December is upon us. I really miss the winters in God's Country (that's the Texas Panhandle for you non-believers). Not that I miss them, but a distinct change of seasons better synchronizes my mental calendar. My biological programming believes that falling leaves and a low 30°F overnight temps are more indicative of football season in early October . . . not 20 days until Christmas.

As always, I'm behind on the blog updates. I love making the posts and will continue to do so. But due to the volume of pictures, the blog really doesn't very well facilite viewing and distribution of piles of fun memories and silly moments. I hope to set up an online photo album before the year's end. On to the random fun!
Silliness with Mom and Bro in Plano!


We had an awesome Thanksgiving / early Christmas with the Huntsville gang. Thank you! Pics of Coop's raindeer outfit will come in very, very handy someday.







Hope to see you again sooner . . . rather than later! TGIF!
