Thanksgiving

Cooper's first Thanksgiving was great! We headed to Austin to spend several days with family, then went to our friend's ranch for a little hunting and relaxation. (Just in case you are wondering, Philip did the hunting, I did the relaxing.)

Cooper was a huge hit in Austin. In fact, I only saw him when it was time for him to eat. Other than that, he was entertained (and entertaining) cousins, aunts, and uncles. He did pretty well for the long car ride. You should have seen our car! I think I packed everything in my house, plus the dog! No really, we had the dog with us! It's amazing the gear you have to take for a baby--car seat, stroller, clothes, pack-n-play, bouncy seat, extra clothes (you never know how many changes we might have to make in a day), blankets, diapers, travel bath...wow! Then Philip had all of his hunting gear and we had to make room for Drake! I should have taken a picture!

We have so much to be thankful for this year--an amazing little boy, wonderful family, good health, steady jobs. We are truly blessed!


I love this picture! Cooper had been laying against Philip's chest and when he sat up, his hair stood straight out! Love the look on Cooper's face--apparently he knew his hair made us laugh.


Cooper was a big hit with all of his cousins, but little Cameron and Whitney seemed to be by his side at all times!



Cousins admiring the youngest of the bunch. Look how Cameron has her arm around the boys--too cute!




Cameron and Whit playing with Cooper again!

This is the only picture of Cooper from the ranch. He was exhausted from all the traveling!
