The holidays brought many adventures this year, including, but not limited to:
Visiting Santa at the Village Center, of course... Although, I believe he was an impostor. He wasn't the same Santa as last year and to me (a Jewish Mommy), last year's Santa is the REAL Santa. Cooper has seen him for the last 3 years and he's the real deal. I hope to see you again next December, Real Santa!
A visit to the Wings Over the Rockies with Sofia!
A visit to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science
with Nana, Papa, Grandma and Grandpa. Here are Cooper and I are in the MythBuster's exhibit doing the old tablecloth trick.
Cooper loves the pterodactyl wings in the Discovery Zone!
We also visited the Transportation Museum for the first time. Cooper loved it and has asked to go back. It was great, but not so much for Tate. Too many "no touching" and "no climbing" signs everywhere. That's tough for a little guy to understand.
Next up: baking sugar cookies! And I am not a fan of sugar cookies. Too labor intensive but Cooper loved the whole process and doing it with him was so much fun! This will be a new tradition for us, I think! He especially enjoyed icing and sprinkling the finished product. There were a lot of cookies to decorate so we called in reinforcements! Thanks for helping, Ava!
Here are the artists in action and just a few of their beautiful creations!
Christmas Day was a blast for the kiddos! Santa didn't bring Cooper his Polar Express Train (he ran out, apparently) but Cooper was thrilled with all his new gear! Lots of Legos, Planes planes, underwear :-) and other goodies! And Tate couldn't be happier with his goodies, too! Duplos, trucks and more!
Cooper playing with his stocking stuffer space man legos.
Tate getting a little help from Nana on Christmas morning.
After a full day of playing with our new trinkets, Christmas dinner was well attended. Grandma Barb joined us as well as Grandma and Grandpa (they were enjoying dinner at the counter). It was quite a spread and everyone chipped in to help make it special.
Tate and Grandma playing "Planes"! What a hoot!
Janell even popped in for a visit!
Thanks for all your help in the kitchen, Moms!
A wonderful holiday was had by all. Or at least they didn't say otherwise! ;-)
We all hope your holidays were as fun-filled as ours were!
