It's a GIRL!!! and Christmas Crafts

This week we went to the doctor for my 20 week checkup. We were so excited to find out that our sweet little baby is growing perfectly, and that she is a little GIRL! We would have been so happy either way, and honestly did not have a gender preference. But, we are so excited to meet our sweet Hadley (middle name still unknown!) Cooper has said from the very beginning it was a girl baby, and he was right! I am so looking forward to all the girly things we will do together, and yes, the shopping has already begun. The world of pink, bows, and tutus is so much fun!


On another note, the past couple of weeks have been full of Christmas craft fun around here! Here are pics from some of our projects.



Making Snow Playdoh! (just white playdoh with glitter, but so much fun!)

He loved making reindeer out of the playdoh. We had to be sure to make all of them especially Rudolph.

Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments!

Every kid needs an old fashioned countdown chain. Cooper loved cutting off a link each day and counting how many more days until Jesus' birthday.

This poor tree lost some of its ornaments before I could get a picture.

Cooper made this at church. The teachers had all the kids pictures lined up in the hall when we went to pick him up. We cracked up laughing because they all looked pretty much the same. However, Cooper's was the only one with a picture of a pan, spoon, skillet, and chef at the top. HA! Maybe he thought baby Jesus was hungry. :)

Gingerbread House fun!

Our finished masterpieces!

The best part...

I just love experiencing Christmas with Cooper. It is like everything is brand new again!
