More Cooper Christmas- Henry.

When we got back from Cleveland, we just spent a couple days hanging out. I never wanted to leave the house, so i didn't even go see the lights at the Marion Fairgrounds. I just wanted to stay at home and play with my new toys. June and Sadie had fun playing together. There was only one booster seat for the both of us, so we had to take turns eating.

Luckily, Sadie is ver generous with her cheerios and offered to share with anyone who was willing.

June took her up on the offer.

Aunt Girl and I continued our tradition of decorating a gingerbread house. The best part about this year's house is that it came preassembled and mama didn't have to spend 2 hours trying to glue the pieces together with frosting while simultaneously propping them up with tuna cans.

While I decorated the house, June scarfed down more food.

The grown-ups managed to get us kids to sleep for a few minutes and tried to enjoy a nice meal.

And finally, we got to open presents. When mama and papa and "Unkie" Adam and Aunt Katie added their presents, it got really out of hand. Lucky for us, most of the presents were for us kids.

Sadie was excited for the action to start.

PawPAw helped June unwrap a present and got a pretty bow as a hair accessory.

Then she decided she wanted to get to the tree and started climbing the presents.

Papa had to wake me up from my nap so I wouldn't miss Christmas. I was a little out of it, but perked up as soon as i started opening presents. Mama was a little embarrassed because I was very excited by the thrill of the presents. Unfortunately, that meant, I didn't think much about the presents themselves. I'd open a gift, toss it aside, and ask for my next present. Hopefully I'm not the only kid in the world like this. Mama made up for it by insisting I wait my turn to open my presents. It was hard for me to understand that not all of the presents belonged to me.

June tried to stay out of the way of the madness, so she crawled under a table.

I was so excited because I got a remote control car that flips over.

June gave it a try, but apparently it doesn't run on drool alone.

This was the end result. Mama lost me a couple times n the mess, but we all made it out alive.

Before bed, we tried to get a group shot. Sadie is holding her new dolly. June is holding her favorite present- a paper bowl.

Then the girls changed into their matching Christmas jammers and tried to feed each other fuzz.

Two pretty girls with two pretty dolls.

On Christmas morning, Aunt Girl and I built another house. This time we used stickers.

I was very proud because i made it look just like the one on the box.

I got this George kaleidascope in my stocking. It's relaly fun to play with.

Also in my stocking- a half pound of solid chocolate santa. Mama debated about giving me a little at a time, but knew that would ultimately end up with her eating the entire thing. So, overcome with Christmas spirit, she decided to just let me eat as much as I could (after I took off my white shirt, of course).

I made a pretty good dent in Old Saint Nick before I gave up.

We had a great week with Nama and PawPaw! Thank you for all the wonderful toys and we can't wait to see you again!
