A special Moment

A couple of days before Christmas Tanner got out his special box of Christmas books and read them to Cooper. It was such a special feeling watching them. It was also neat looking back at the special messages written on the books from family to Tanner dating back to his first Christmas, treasured, these books are to us and wonderful to share with Cooper!

Tanners new additions!

Tanners collection of Nutcrackers has grown this year!He now has close to 60! This one is from Grammie Jeanie!

To be cont.. with posts from Christmas Eve and Christmas!

Gingerbread Junction at the Lodge..

We went here the night of the "Santa" visit... I haven't had a chance to post yet. We go every year and there are some great gingerbread houses, one year Tanners class at school entered, it is a great way to get in the holiday spirit...

This is kinda funny... Cooper decided to "blow" the diaper when we were walking through it and another Dad holding his baby just gave Buck a knowing look and laugh.. he knew the sound well too I guess!!

The lights were very pretty outside the Lodge too, this is a fun tradition~!

Christmas 2009 Part 1!

With limited amount of time on the computer that Boss will allow me ( Cooper not Bucky HA!)

I have decided that this will be a Christmas post series! We had a wonderful time with alot of fond memories having our sweet baby at Christmas time, it's been 13 years since we celebrated with a new baby! Thank you to all our family and friends for thinking of us this year.. we love you!

Look to the side at all the pics I will be posting...

Coop's hollering now... so I will post later!

The Marcher....

Well Cooper has been doing the cutest thing.. when he is really excited and laying down he marches his legs so fast! Its way cute!

He also smiles alot more now with his winking eye and wrinkled up nose its adorable!~ He also converses to us in different ways, he "talks" more to Bucky and is more intense with him..

He is so sweet and we see more and more his great personality shining through!

We had a pizza party tonight for the end of the season of Tanners basketball team and Tanner got 1st place for amount of rebounds for the team.. 64! Yay Tanner!

Wrestling will be starting after this Christmas break with Buckys coaching the team..

I am excited for that.. it will be good for Tanner to learn from him as well as the other boys~

A Visit with Santa Claus!

Cooper met Santa Claus for the very first time last night and he really loved him! Tanner being a seasoned veteran of Santa lap sitting showed him the ropes while sitting on this "special" Santas lap. We then joined "Grandpa" and Grandma Reynolds to go to the Sunriver Lodge and look at the lights and the gingerbread houses and had dinner, it was really fun. Thank you to Santa Claus and Mrs Claus.. for making Coopers first visit with Santa a special one!

Coopers Two Months Old!

Cooper has passed two months! I am late as usual but he turned two months old on the 4th of Dec! He is now 11 lbs! He smiles so cute wrinkling up his nose and twinkling his eyes right along with his smile, he is goo ing and gaaing too, and we love it!

This is a cute shirt in the pic from Auntie Jen, Uncle Chris and Alex when I first learned I was pregnant with him!

We have been watching lots of Tanners basketball games and trying to stay warm in this cold weather, it was 3 degrees today at Tanners game, brrr.... we still braved it...

Nursing has gotten much better too, I have been able to get rid of the shield for good and its going well now..

Cooper is fitting right in with the family, he is such a gift to us!!
