pre-christmas cooper style

This Christmas the festivities started early this year! We had a big Cooper Christmas party on Dec. 23rd with all of Mike's family! It was a great night

Michelle and Cali bowling

Siri, Shalie, Michelle and kiddos

Party Feast!

We had a lovely dinner that was followed by some party festivities! Each family had to prepare a little christmas 'performance'. They were all very entertaining. After that we acted out the nativity story

2 little sheep and an angel!

The 2 new additions to the family, Kira and Leah! Both such dollies!

Present unwrapping concluded the evening... it was joyous chaos! The kids were in heaven getting to open gifts up before Christmas morning.

Matching pj's and a picture with Grandma and Grandpa. Look at all of those cute kids!

It was a fun night and so good to see everyone. The next morning we had family pictures taken, and I can't wait to post some of those when they come back!

christmas extravaganzaaaaaa

This past weekend we had some christmas events. On Friday Sadie had her preschool christmas performance. She did a great job singing and dancing. Saturday we had our ward party and this week David has his class party! This week is not going to be long enough, I feel like I have too much to do still! Can't wait till Christmas!

HO HO HOLIDAYS!!!

Christmas is just around the corner! Excitement is in the air here at our house, the babes just can't wait for Christmas morning! There are no presents under the tree (Cali unwraps them) but the anticipation for David and Sadie especially is so fun.

We went to go see Santa at Hemming Village on Saturday, Santa asked David what he wanted for Christmas and Dave said "I want a motor scooter" Santa looked at him and shook his head and said, "Oh heavens no, you are much too little for that.... how about a nice scooter that you push with your foot" David was not very impressed with that response... hahaha

My mom made the girls some little matching dresses and sent them the other day. They looked so cute, and it is so fun to have 3 little girls to dress alike! Thanks Mom!

And Rufus the elf has really been getting into mischief lately. From drawing silly things on pictures, to zip-lining, to hiding in the marshmallows we never know what he is going to do next.

I am mostly done my shopping.... and the majority I did online and before thanksgiving... We are sticking around here this year for Christmas and my family is coming here to celebrate. I am happy not to haul gifts, luggage and kids around.

my little leah love

Leah is SO cute. She is smiling! It is the best when we see those twinkly little eyes light up and we get a big grin out of her.

Leah is happiest when she is held (of course) but she likes to watch her crazy siblings, and she actually sleeps the best in her bouncer in the middle of all the noise.

santa baby...

While doing some christmas shopping for others, I couldn't help but look a little for myself. If Santa needs an idea...
