Our first Christmas with Axl went really well! It was hard not to wish he was a little older for his first Christmas so it would be more meaningful for him, but we still had fun pretending like he knew about all the traditions we were carrying on and that we were showering him with the best gifts ever, ha!
I definitely bought adult Gymboree pajamas to wear on Christmas Eve :)
Right before Christmas, Axl met his Aunt Catherine for the first time!
Rockwell, Asha, and Ava came over the Monday before Christmas to decorate sugar cookies--They did such a great job!
Each year, the Cooper family celebrates Christmas together on Christmas Eve. This year we started a new tradition since there are grandkids in the picture of celebrating at my parents' house. Nanny, Janet and Bud, Mom and Dad, David and Paula, me and Tyler and all the kids were there.
The best Christmas present of all!
Madison got sick on the way...so she had to get into her jammies a little early :)

We didn't get any good pictures of Axl's Christmas Eve pajamas
2nd Annual Christmas morning run. Last year we ran from the trailer to Tom and Bonnie's. Since we now live at Tom and Bonnie's while they're on their mission, we ran from there to Jay and Brooke's. I used Christmas money from Tom and Bonnie this year for a jogging stroller so we got to make the run as a family and take the kids' Christmas presents to them so they didn't get lost in the shuffle later in the day.

Catherine enjoyed Cabbs' present a little more than she did...ha
Christmas Day festivities were at the Hamilton home where we are currently living. Everyone came over for a late lunch and all the food was GREAT!

Needless to say, after all these festivities this second Christmas together was fabulous! I'm sorry it's over, but the next time I turn around it'll be December again!
