Keeping Up With the Cooks

Winter Weather

It may be a few days before Christmas and 70 and sunny, but every now and then we get some chilly weather. When we do, the kiddos are happy to bundle and head outside. I do love the cuteness of bundled babies.

CHRiSTMaS CaRD!

I love it when a plan comes together...especially when I didn't plan it! One morning before hopping into the shower, Natalie was on top of Beckett, as always. She wanted me to take a picture of her with him, so I was happy to oblige. Sutton hopped up to get in on the photo action. A few snaps later, I realized I'd gotten the photo below and that they were wearing red and green! Of course I immediately thought Christmas Card. Anyways, I LOVE these photos of these precious kiddos of mine. SO blessed.

Pooped after the photo shoot. Gotta love a sleeping baby.

A Happy Thanksgiving

Program at Nat's School:

Sutton is always right by sissy's side.

Natalie & Trenton, Cutest Indian/Pilgrim duo I've seen. :)

Thanksgiving morning, neighborhood football games. People were all over the place, with 2 games going on at the same time. One for little people, one for bigger little people. It was too cute.

After-Thanksgiving Dinner tea party, boys allowed. Real men sip tea after the meal, instead of watching football. :)

Our evening meal with the Hixons. I could get used to 2 meals on Thanksgiving!

Gathering around the computer to watch the school thanksgiving program. "Shed a tear for old Tom Turkey. Life for him was sad and murky."

Thankful for SO many things this year. But especially for starting to see the sweet friendships the Lord is giving to us and our children in our new-er home. Life is really settling in here, especially with our healthy, happy baby boy. We have so much to be thankful for. Praise the Lord!
