Our "Christmas Eve"

When Cooper woke up Friday morning I told him we were having a Christmas

tonight and he said, "Because its snowing!".

Then he looked outside and saw there was hardly any snow left and said,

"Uh Oh, the snow is drying up!". I'm glad it doesn't have to snow to have Christmas but

I'm with Cooper. Snow means Christmas.... I'd like to have a little. :)

After dinner we moved into the living room and

Derek read the Christmas Story from Cooper's Bible.

The first gift passed out was from Cooper to Miles:

Cooper helped Miles open it:

And then helped him play with it.

Next Cooper got to open one from Mommy & Daddy:

We had fun taking time to play with gifts between opening them:

Cooper was excited about this one!

Now he's SuperWhy!

"Super Readers to the rescue!"

This get up was helpful handing out the gift he got for Daddy:

And Mommy:

And opening another himself:

Miles had a gift for Cooper too:

"Thanks, Miles!"

And what Christmas is complete without a

"Here, open these at the same time."?

Monkey towels for my little monkeys!

And the boys got these for each other.

(with a little help from Mommy and the clearance rack at the Carter's outlet :)

When Cooper helped me wrap Miles' he said, "This is so he can go hunting with me?"

So Cooper was excited to get camouflage himself too.

Cooper also got a gift that "required" these:

Nerf Gun!

And last...whats in this one?

His bow and arrow!

We ended the evening with homemade cheesecake and {decaf} coffee:

We had a great evening together celebrating Jesus' Birth.
