I haven't blogged since Halloween, so I'm putting all of the holidays together in one big post! It's been crazy busy around here with holiday festivities, sickness, and baby prep on top of our usual routine. Here are some highlights from the past 6 weeks:
-Thanksgiving with both families. Lunch with the Brownings and dinner with the Huffmans. Little sister and I got to take some belly shots, too!
|
Browning Clan |
|
Belly shot at 29 weeks (for 2/3 of us)! |
|
Uncle Pat and a turkey |
|
Manda and Sam imitating Cooper's "camera smile" at our family baby shower |
-Chopping down our own Christmas tree for the 4th year in a row. Cooper was a big helper this year...once he understood the tree sled was not just for him to ride...
|
Oh what fun it is to ride... |
|
That's more like it! |
-Taking a Santa Train ride (Dillwyn, VA) with all of the grandparents. Santa visited with each child for a couple of minutes on the 45-minute train ride.
|
Cooper asked for cars, trucks, Chuggington, and Switch-n-Go Dino |
-Hanging out with Aunt Sharon at Stony Point mall on a Friday evening in December.
|
Ice cream is the key to his heart |
-Spending Christmas with the whole family.
|
Baby Andrew...such a cutie! |
|
We're proud of our first gingerbread house. |
|
The Romanos on Christmas Eve |
|
Our little shepherd. When asked by our pastor what he was going to be in the Christmas Eve pageant, Cooper said "a sheriff." |
|
Sweet Sunny joined us on Christmas Day |
|
Christmas morning...so happy Santa came! |
|
Christmas belly shot - around 33 weeks. We grew! |
With the holidays behind us, we're focused on Cooper's 4th birthday and the birth of TWO sweet girls (a daughter and a niece) - all less than 6 weeks away!
