Christmas 2011 was a whirlwind of food, fun, and family! We had such a great time in Abilene!
We spent Christmas Eve morning at Grandmommy and PaPa's and celebrated with the Foster clan. As always, there was a ton of yummy food and fun playing with the cousins!
Cooper started off the weekend with a trip to CrossCut with the guys to see the horses. He was excited to take the horses some cookies for their Christmas treat, but I hear the cookies never made it past Cooper's hands. ;)
Next up, baking some Christmas cookies with Grandmommy. Grandmommy's kitchen may never be the same, but Cooper sure loved it!
When Meghan and Kate arrived the cookie decorating began. I'm not sure if more candy ended up on the cookies or in their mouths, but it was fun anyway!
On Christmas Eve, we woke up to SNOW! There was not enough to stick or play in, but it sure did feel like Christmas!

Getting ready for Santa before heading to MiMi and Grandad's! In Cooper's letter this year, he asked for a train, a tiger in a jungle, and a real cowboy rope. (Santa was very happy to see that the "tummy with a baby in it" he had been asking for didn't make the final list!)
Putting out some reindeer food!
Next, it was off to MiMi and Grandad's for some more Christmas fun! MiMi decided to let Cooper and Madie make their own pizzas for dinner since tamales aren't usually a toddler favorite. They had so much fun getting them ready to cook!
Anxiously awaiting the finished product with Case.
Next, it was time for presents!
Checking out his new Rock and Roll Elmo!
Cooper in his engineer outfit and new train whistle. He wore it the entire evening!
The next morning we were back to Grandmommy and PaPa's to see what Santa brought and open more presents!
Cooper got his very own train table! Nothing like a sucker first thing in the morning! :)
Showing off his new horse set!
On Christmas night, we celebrated once more with the Martins.
Meghan, Kate, and Cooper checking out his cool new light up fish tank. Thanks Terri and Arlis!
We are so blessed with two wonderful families. Thanks everyone for a great Christmas!
