Cooper's Baby Blessing

Cooper was blessed December 30, 2012 aka Grammy's birthday!!  It was such a wonderful day; we were so happy most of our family could make it.  It made that day even more special.  We had the blessing at our church and then afterwards we had a little brunch at my Aunt Julia's and Uncle Brad's house.  The blessing was so thoughtful and amazing.  I'm so grateful for Sean and the preparation he did before the blessing.  You could really tell he was in tune with the spirit and that the blessing was everything Cooper will need throughout his life.  I'm so glad Grammy knows short hand and was able to write it down so that we can have a copy of it. I can't wait for Cooper to read it one day.  Thanks for all who were able to make it, especially Greg (poor Tason woke up with the stomach flu and they still made it)  It will definitely be a day Sean and I will never forget. 

Christmas in VIVA Las Vegas

Sean and I switch every year on where we'll spend thanksgiving/Christmas.  This year Christmas was spent with Sean's family.  His parents live in Las Vegas so off to Nevada we went.  We had so much fun.  All of Sean's brothers were able to make it down for the holiday.  It was so great seeing everyone, 4 brothers, 4 sister in laws, 13 nieces and nephews, and of course Grammy and granddad.  Some of the fun things we did were we went to a yummy buffet, got family pictures taken, did a cousin nativity scene, made cookies for Santa (the sister in laws had some dough and watched cowboy's and aliens, don't judge we're nursing starving mamas:) ), played lots of wii, played basketball, took the kiddos to the park, Grammy took me to get a very nice pedicure, Sean got to go range shooting, and so much more.  I love the holidays and spending them with family.  I'm so grateful to have such wonderful in laws.  They spoiled all of us!!  Here are some pics of the trip.  I can't wait until bear lake this summer when we will all be together again!!
