The morning after our date we hit the road for Spokane. My mom included. She of course followed us in the truck. Cooper did a great job! Just one stop in Moses for a meal and a change. I wonder how long this "good car rider" phase is going to last?!
To start off our Christmas celebration we went to Jamie's house for brunch with the girls! We decided to invite our significant others too :) Cooper was decked out in Christmas cheer!
Jamie COMPLETELY out did herself! The girl had SO MUCH amazing food! I did not even begin to do it justice with the few pics I snapped. The French toast in the crock pot was to-die-for. Mimosa bar. Bloody Mary Bar. And so much more. Thanks Jamie!
We had a great time hanging out, playing with our kids, eating and exchanging gifts. We definitely missed our friends who could not be there, but thank goodness for technology!
Love this sweet girl. She is SUCH a HAPPY baby!
Just a few short months and Cooper will get to play with Jim's son, Jack!
After brunch with friends we hit up my family's annual Bunko party. It is always so nice to have everyone together. This year was extra special for two reasons:
1) Cooper met his Great Grandma Anna!!
2) Cooper found out he is going to have a COUSIN!! That is right! My brother Kris and his wife, Janie, are expecting their first kiddo July 8th! We seriously could not be more excited!
Fun times with my fam! No matter what they think, or how old we get...these two will always be my little brothers.
Grandma Anna and her grandkids and GREAT grand baby!
Cooper and his great grandmas from my side
Cooper with his (3rd) cousin, Parker. If Cooper is 1/10 as sweet as Parker we will be lucky. Parker is just the best kiddo around. Seriously.
Related much? It is still too early to tell if Cooper acquired the Pryor nose and chin.
My Dad's side of the family
My family. They are pretty cool, really.
The next morning was Christmas Eve and we woke up to this lovely sight! I was getting worried that Cooper's first Christmas was not going to be white...but Spokane did not disappoint! It rarely does :)
Our first Christmas as a family of THREE!
I mean...is this not the sweetest picture ya ever did see?!
Cooper testing out Auntie Keri's sweet little red chair
Opening presents for the first time!
His first gift was this AWESOME hat from Auntie Keri. It has essentially not come off his head since. Too freakin' cute!
Early Christmas morning we moved camp to the Pryor casa. We opened stockings and one present each before heading off to ski at the best ski hill around...Mt. Spokane.
I know this is a horrible photo, I was laughing too hard to get a clear picture when I took it. Chris's gift to Kris didn't come in time, so Chris took it upon himself to model a similar version of Kris's gift. I took a photo and wrapped it up. It was hysterical!
Cooper rocked his Carhart bibs for Christmas with the Pryor Clan. Pretty standard.
Kpa is so proud of the bibs!
After a few gifts and mimosas, the "kids" went skiing. Kpa and Grandma Mel babysat.
It was foggy in the morning.
But after lunch & a beer the sun came out!
Cooper bonded with Kpa
Uncle Kyle could not be home for Christmas Eve, so we celebrated with him on the 26th. Cooper of course wore his party hat! Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture with Uncle Kyle!
He was thoroughly entertained by his hand. It is a pretty amazing thing.
Dawn brought Sienna over for a SURPRISE visit!
Of course we tried to get a cute photo of Cooper & Harper in their matching outfits. It made for quite the series of photos...
We are looking forward to many, many Christmases with this amazing kiddo.
