We spend New Year's Even with a couple of friends. Just before midnight, OG and Big C were battling the waters of Wii Sport Resort in a heated canoe race.

OG and I finally broke down and bought a Wii. It is so awesome! This is OG's avatar sky-diving into Wii Sports Resort for some fun in the sun. There is archery, bowling, frisbee, and much more!

We've had some heavy snow this year. Our poor little Frog Garden keeps getting buried!

OG's parents got us matching PJs! These are the softest pants I have ever worn. They are like wearing a cloud.

We drove down to Watson Park to look for Bald Eagles and found a different kind of bird all together. If you stop too long, they will surround your car so you can't get away!

Another favorite Cooper Family Tradition: Christmas Breakfast. Every year, Dad makes a huge breakfast with pancakes, several different kinds of bacon, sausage, and eggs. It's a great way to start the day!

This is the picture that came in our Christmas card from the Allred family. We have some cute nephews!December 22, 2009
We had our "Holiday Party" at work today. My friend made this amazing Christmas Tree cake!

The Texas Tech Red Raiders came to play at Koch Arena. Big 12 teams hardly ever play the Shockers, so tonight's game was a big deal. It was close the whole way, but the Shockers kept the lead to the end! In the last 2 minutes of that game it felt like the whole arena was going to come crashing down from the cheers of the fans.*Disclaimer: This game actually took place on December 19, but so did Jack's party.

Amy and Jason were in town for Jackson's birthday, so Jennifer was able to give Amy her present...an ornament from Infinity Art Glass! (see post from 12/11/09) She was so excited! Jennifer had it made with red and white stripes to symbolize Canada.

For Jackson's 7th birthday party, we took a trolley ride around town to look at Christmas Lights!
December 17-18, 2009
OG and I may not have a chimney for Santa to come down, but that doesn't mean he won't get here! So we ordered ourselves our first Christmas stockings! Mine is on the left and OG's in on the right. We got them from Cheryland on www.etsy.com .

I am so proud of myself! I am pretty awful at wrapping presents and I usually wait until the very last minute to do it, but this year, I got it all done in one evening! And I didn't even settle for gift bags on most of them!

This is OG's favorite Christmas decoration. It's Santa driving a racecar with a reindeer riding shotgun. He loves it so much that it stays out all year long.

My friend Debbie gave everyone in our unit name stamps for Christmas! It may not seem like a big deal, but we write our names countless times per day and this will save both time and effort!

Today OG and I took Kenny to see the Nutcracker. He was supposed to go with his school this year, but all fieldtrips were canceled this year to help the budget. OG and I were already planning on going, so we brought him along. I don't think ballet is really Kenny's thing...December 12, 2009
Taryn is almost 8 months pregnant! Her friends got together and threw her a diaper shower. She got some super cute stuff to help her get prepared for our little girl! I can't wait!

This is Scott Hartley out at Infinity Art Glass in Benton. He makes the most amazing sculptures from glass! Every year around Christmas he has an open house where you can design your own ornament and watch him make it! It's incredible to watch! This year we had the added bonus of watching him make a light fixture. Here he is swinging it back and forth to give it the ripples that you can see starting to form.

OG's mom gave me this for Christmas last year. I collect Nativities, and I must say this is my current favorite. It folds up into a box and looks like a little present!

Another amazing Dollar Tree discovery! That place is full of hidden treasure! And the best part is that we bought these in August!December 8, 2009
We decided it would be fun to get everyone special ornaments this year. Here is the Allred ornament with the original inspiration. Doesn't Reggie look adorable in her little sweater?

OG and I can't have a real tree because our cats chew them up, climb in them, and knock off all the decorations. So OG's mom got us this little tree for our bedroom. Our first Christmas Tree together! Precious!

We took our annual family trip out to Prairie Pines Christmas Tree Farm today. Every year Taryn and I look for the perfect tree knowing that Mom has the ultimate decision, then Dad gets down in the dirt/mud/snow to cut it down for us. Then we take it home and decorate it. Taryn and I have been trading off who gets to put the angel on top of the tree every year since we can remember. Well, this year the honor was bestowed on the newest member of the family...OG.

Let me just say, it was C-O-L-D in OKC this morning! But Shelly and I needed to stop and get a picture with the giant cowboy boot, just to prove we were there!
December 4, 2009
Me, Mom, and my very good friend Shelly went to a women's conference in OKC this weekend. We had some trouble finding our hotel, but we got to see some pretty awesome lights while we were driving around!

Martin started acting funny a few days ago...he wanted us to pet him and hold him and he was being NICE to us! So, naturally, we got worried! We took him to the Vet and it turns out that his bowels were compacted and he had to stay overnight so they could fix him. The next day we had to pick up a prescription at the regular pharmacy.

Decorating the office for Christmas! It's my absolute favorite season of the year! I think Christmas should last year-round.

Mary Engelbreit's December calendar picture. I guess kids in the Caribbean need presents too!
