Christmas in Borger

I could post about our trip to Borger for weeks, I took so many pictures while we were there. The excitment of the trip came in the form of snow, 6 inches to be exact. Most of it fell overnight so after some breakfast Will was ready to go. Grandpa was an awesome sport and spent most of the day outside. First they decided to make a snowman. It was the most precious snowman and even made the Borger News Herald, one benefit to living in a small town, if you want something in the paper, just call and ask. :)

Eventhough they were out there to make a snowman, Will couldn't resist throwing a snowball at Grandpa.

Getting back to work.

Tomorrow: What else did we do in the snow??

Cooper was a good boy too!

Cooper got a visit from Santa too. Santa was at a lose for what to bring Cooper, he settled on musical instruments, wooden animal cars, new sippies, new jammies and the sweetest stuffed puppy. He also got the Bumbo tray, but Santa brought that too late since Cooper is still up unassisted now. Good try Santa.

Cooper and his sweet Mama. :)

Yep, out of everything he got he wanted Will's slinky.

Cooper and his sweet Christmas jammies, he had a reindeer on his bottom.

The little toy that suctions to the high chair, LOVE IT.

Check out that sweet puppy face.

Stomach Bug Santa

But Santa might have a stomach ache too. :) Will was very concern about Santa this year. We had all had the stomach bug off and on for a week or so, so when it came time to putting treats out for him, Will wanted to make sure he had a few Saltines, as they were a staple at our house.

But for good meause we added some chocolate and popcorn.

Santa delivered a very large and incharge Rescue Hero play center. Will loves it, it calls out missions for the men to do, "Calling all Rescue Heroes, there is Lava flowing from the volcano" so fun! He also sent some great wooden musical instruments, some underware and a real Toy Story "Andy" Hat. Lots of neat things for a sweet little boy.

Checking it our with Dad, check out the radar on the top.

It has lots of places for the men to climb on and in, hours of fun for my little guy.

Using the crane hook, gotta love a crane hook.

Merry Christmas Will!

Merry Christmas Morning

What is this you ask??

Well this is Cooper and how he woke up Christmas morning. Will was up at 6am but Cooper slept until 9:30. We could hear him on the monitor just chatting to himself and this is what we found when we went in.
Apparently this is comfortable for him, as it happens often.

Stay tuned...tomorrow you will find out what Santa brought. :)

Our Attempt at a Christmas Picture

Every year I pick up the Hallmark Family picture frame. I would normally fill it with the family picture we take in Borger but we didn't do that this year so I had to come up with something different. We snapped this Christmas Day right before bed, nothing like waiting until the last minute. Not to mention I am wearing a super comfy sweater and Mark is wearing his holey sweater; note that the day before we were much more stylish. I will try better next year.

Fireman Will

At the park last week Will asked if I would help him use the fire pole. Note: this is his favorite thing but he is scared to use it without help. I worked a little while on building up his confidence again since we haven't use it in a while. Well he was loving it and it was time, I told him to just do it, think about what he needed to do and do it. Well he did and he was so very proud of himself. It was the only thing he played on the entire time we were there. I was happy that he was able to manage his fear of doing it alone and he could just think about what he needed to do to make it down the pole. He is growing everyday, so proud of my little guy.

Outside in December

December 30th was a beautiful day here in Oklahoma. Will and I packed dinner in the picnic basket and headed out to the park. These are a few of the shots I got of Cooper. All he wanted to do was watch Will. Check out tomorrow for pictures of what Will learned to do while we were there.
