Hi!

I really love when they start to do their little "tricks".

We gave the boys coupons for Christmas. They were good for one free date night with Mom and one free date night with Dad. Let me just say, best idea ever! I loved being able to spend one-on-one time with each of them and not to mention they thought it was the coolest idea ever.

So here is Coop and I's date night together. He chose to go to Menchie's for frozen yogurt.

The boys LOVE to take pictures of themselves and then look at them.

When we were trying to do the mad face (bottom left) he couldn't quite pull it off. He kept breaking and busting up laughing (see middle picture). It was quite funny!

We played some Pictionary.

This was Coop's drawing of us eating ice cream. See the spoons in our hands?

Here's my drawing...can you guess what it is?

I sure do love my boy!

It is fun as he gets older and can hold a conversation with me.

He understands more and is a fun kid to chat with.

I also love when he thinks something is really, genuinely funny, that's when I get the good laugh!n

Christmas

Christmas was a little different this year with my parents in Russia. We spent our first Christmas ever in Utah. It was so nice to still be able to spend it with the family here. We acted out the Nativity, decorated cookies for Santa, and spent Christmas day enjoying our Christmas gifts.

Sitota was the angel and Claire and Laura were the cutest little sheep ever.

Opening gifts

These are probably my favorite pictures from the morning. The gifts they gave each other. They both were ecstatic about them. It was very sweet to see.
