Ho, ho, ho!

Ho, ho, ho!

A snotty, sleepless Merry Christmas to you!

That's what it was for this sweet boy. 

We headed up to Jeff's parents house in Glenwood Springs, Colorado for the week, and though we snuck in some fun...

....and beauty....

...and cookie making...

...and family...

We spent a lot of time on the couch or snuggled up in bed.

Cooper had a high fever and a cough for the books. It broke my heart to see him so sad.

I always love getting together with family, but boy has it changed over the years.

From six folks to ten...

From up at 9am, to up by 6am... 

A lot louder, a lot busier, a lot more Disney... 

I wouldn't change it for anything.

Coop and his cousins:

Cooper, 22 months, Carson, 4 years, Harper, 22 months, Asher, 10 months

We read LOTS of train books!

Tried many times to take a group shot - this is the best we could do:

And were even able to see my parents on the way back to Denver!

Cooper had perked up and was feeling much better by the time we made it to his other grandmas.

Checking out his loot. Truck? Check, he'll keep it.

And the reason this Christmas and year are so complete...my brown-eyed, blond haired, ornery, short little love bug.

Hope your holiday was a good one, friends, and wishing you all the very best in the New Year! I think 2014 will be a great year!
