Watch Me Grow...

Our little Cooper man is 2 months old...

Just for comparison...here is the "1 month" picture...

2 months...beginning to get lots of smiles...

Anna Lauren can typically make him smile when no one else can...so glad she loves her little brother! Just excuse her head...I couldn't resist posting Cooper's smile!

Sometimes being Daddy and Mommy can be hard, but then you look at these precious kiddos and think...wow...we are so blessed!

Christmas Tree...

Anna Lauren loves to ride on the "wagon" at the Pumpkin Patch every year and was so excited to be able to ride on the "wagon" once again at the Christmas tree farm. Yesterday afternoon, we rode the wagon out to the tree farm and picked out our Christmas tree...

Nanna and Anna Lauren on the wagon ready to go pick out our tree...

Daddy holding the tree we picked out while it is cut down...

Cooper's 1st Christmas tree experience...you can tell he LOVED it!

Our sweet little family...and yes, Anna Lauren was being sweet and sharing her sunglasses with Cooper!

Helping tie the Christmas tree to the top of the car...

Helping Daddy cut the netting off the tree...

Sorry Aunt Kate, after a major melt down when we got home, we let her open her Christmas presents from ya'll. We figured that was the least she could do after being so good in Gulfport and in the car. However, as you can see, she LOVES it!

So proud of her Christmas tree...the face we got when all the netting came off...

Thanksgiving...

We spent Wednesday through Saturday in Gulfport celebrating Thanksgiving with Matt's family. I could type and type to say what all we did but instead, you can just see what we did for 4 days by looking at the pictures...hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

The girls enjoyed swinging on the porch with Pop Pop...

Matt and I would have brought Mary Martin home with us in a second...by far, the sweetest little girl you have ever met! Just precious!

James, Spencer, and Anna Lauren...so weird...they are "big" kids now...almost 4!

MeMe trimmed Anna Lauren's hair...she was so still for MeMe!

She was so relaxed she could hardly hold her eyes open...she would have sat there forever I think...

Uncle Matt / Daddy is fun because he takes kids for "night time" golf cart rides...

We played lots of riding in different cars / car seats...here Mary Martin is in Anna Lauren's seat...

And James and Anna Lauren are the "big" kids in the backseat not in car seats...what a special treat! No worries...we did not go far!
