Christmas in Kincardine

Cooper’s second Christmas was great!  He really started to understand about Santa, got into singing Christmas songs, especially jingle bells, Rudolph, and We wish you a merry Christmas.   And many more.   Oh, and did I mention Christmas baking, chocolate, and goodies!  He was in heaven.

Watching a Christmas movie the night before Christmas eve.

Reading his Christmas book before bed.

And cuddling up with daddy!

Some early presents to play with from Miss Debb!

And finally, Christmas eve is here!!!  

Starting off the night with appetizers and drinks! 

Don’t forget Max and Ruby’s Christmas special and Santa hats!

Here’s Cooper decorating his little tree.

And what Christmas eve would be complete without a Chrimstas eve fort!  Better get started…

His biggest yet!   Five blankets.

It’s going to be dark soon – let’s turn on the Christmas lights!

And even a little bit of falling snow!

When’s Santa coming?

On Christmas eve, mommy decided to continue Grandma’s tradition of opening one present.   Grandma used to buy us all presents every Christmas eve as a special tradition – and her spirit lives on, because look who they are from Cooper – your grandma in heaven!  How wonderful.

Christmas “matchers!” as Cooper calls them.

And Cooper got to open one more present from mommy and daddy – a new train!  “James”

Here’s Cooper sprinkling the Reindeer food!   Great job Cooper!

And guess who else sent a present along from heaven:  GREAT GRANDMA!   With her annual box of turtles.  Cooper LOVED it!

Merry Christmas from Kincardine!   Even Phinny matches.  Santa is on his way!

Cooper setting out the milk and cookies for Santa.  He baked and decorated special gingerbread cookies and insisted that Santa should have chocolate milk!  

Later that night, Santa arrived!   Look at all the presents!

And Cooper was right!  He was hungry and loved his chocolate milk.

The next morning Cooper ran into the room to find drums and a microphone and all kinds of great stuff.   VIDEO to come in another blog!

A recorder and a saxaphone!   It’s a musical Christmas!

Cooper had so much fun opening his presents and we loved watching every minute on Christmas morning.   Now time to get dressed and off to St. Thomas we go!   YAY nana and papa – here we come!
