We enjoyed a beautiful sunset like this every night.

We spent Christmas in Florida this year, it was a wonderful vacation. We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Family Pictures

Going to see Santa.....

Tonight we went to Chanhassen's winter festival to meet Santa and watch them light up the Christmas tree. Santa rode in on a fire truck, Cooper was in shock. Fire trucks are one of his favorite things right now and Santa how can we top this one. 

He wanted nothing to do with Buttons

Christmas Tree is up

How can one resist

Trying to get a picture of a 2 year old is impossible, I finally got one after 20 tries.

Every night when we get home we have to turn on the tree and lights right away. We have been taking the long way home so we can see more lights along the way. 

Happy Halloween

Cooper went as a dinosaur this year, he wasn't excited about putting on the costume. Dad managed to get him in it and get one picture taken. We started the night at the neighbor's house and she gave him a couple hand fulls of candy he was excited to go on at that point. We made it to a couple more houses before he couldn't take it any longer.

Now every night when we get home he walks to his bag of candy and says "trick or treat". He has it all figured out, it worked on Halloween Mom.

Just in case you are wondering we didn't get a new dog. We were watching Snickers for a co-worker. Cooper called her "Nickers".

Lets Play Hockey

Having a two year old with a definite opinion has its challenging moments. Cooper only has two things on his mind what am I going to eat or can we play hockey. Either of the two statements will get his attention. We play hockey everyday no questions asked. The last few months it has been all about puzzles and now hockey. He taught Hannah how to play this past weekend. Jason and I excited to see him this winter when we take him ice skating for the first time.

Pumpkins

We stopped and picked up a few pumpkins today. Cooper was more excited to ride in the wagon. We are ready for our first Halloween in the new house.

Moving Day

Our official moving day has arrived. Jason and I closed on the house yesterday. We unloaded the Pod and now the movers are coming to the apartment to move the rest. We are excited to spend the first night in our new home.

State Fair

State Fair weekend has become a holiday at our house. We all look forward to it. We started our day early with mini donuts and corn dogs.

Cooper Street



Cooper carried on the tradition and finished his Pronto Pup

It was a fun weekend, thank you for helping us expand our pants!!

Puzzle Time

Cooper loves puzzles, Aunt Linda made it even more fun!

Cooper's 2nd Birthday Party

I can't believe Cooper is 2. We celebrated his second birthday at Como Zoo. It was the perfect day for the zoo and a picnic. Cooper loved that he was the center of attention

trying to resist the urge to play in the water

Thank you everyone for spending the day with us. Cooper loved all of his gifts.
