Santa Mission=Success

Living in rural Mississippi has its flaws...lets just be honest. Not having a mall is definitely one of them. I miss not only the shopping, but the appearance of Santa at Christmas! Not that I was really in a hurry to force my child to sit on Santa's lap and scream and cry. But it's still something that I want evidence of when he's big and grown and refuses to do it anymore.

So Ryan, Abby, Witt and I headed to Knoxville, TN to the West Town Mall. Ryan and Witt got in line (creepy I know) while Abby and I took Cooper to go grab some last minute gifts. While we were shopping this is what happened...

So Abby and I went to stand in line and let Coop nap until we got to the front of the line. We finally made it, woke Coop up and changed his clothes. 

Anticipating a scream fest, I brought back-up. Cooper is REALLY into books these days so I decided to take a book along for Santa to read to Cooper! It went beautifully! Cooper was so quiet and amazed that this guy was reading him his favorite book and people were clapping and taking pictures. We got a great video and awesome pictures to prove it! I am so happy with the visit and the Santa was great too!

Just because I have no pictures...

Ok, we still don't have our new camera. It was supposed to be in today... but you know how that goes. So here's a tiny update and a tiny request....

Update: we have ALL been super sick but are all finally on meds so hopefully we can get over this garbage before Christmas. Cooper is fake sneezing now and it cracks me up! He is becoming such a funny kid with all his expressions and babble. He says these made up words and look at you like he totally just told you something important and why aren't you jumping to action!?

Request: If you are checking this blog and not a follower...shame on you! I want to know who you are! Just kidding (about the shame part, not the knowing). Go ahead and hit that follow button..you know you want to. Plus, I want people to be amazed at how many people are hanging on my every word. Haha now I really am kidding, sort of.

Check back soon for (HOPEFULLY) some updated pictures of Cooperman.

Who doesn't love getting a picture of a cute baby?

Ok, so really...who doesn't want a picture of a cute baby, especially mine?! Well lucky for you I am currently designing our Christmas card so everyone can bask in the glow of our precious child. Am I too proud? Nah!

This year I am doing our Christmas cards on Shutterfly! They have sooo many cute designs this year. Ryan and I used Shutterfly to make our Christmas cards a few years ago and everyone loved them! They are so easy to do too! We also made a picture scrapbook of our wedding photos that turned out so nice.

I am having a really hard time picking which card I am going to use this year, but some of my favorites include: All Wrapped Up, Holly Jolly, and Love Stockings. Check out this link to help me decide. Let me know which card you want to see in your mailbox!  http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards

Also, in case anyone is wondering which card to send me for my upcoming birthday (December 8th..hint hint), Shutterfly has a great selection!! http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/birthday-cards-stationery
And I would love if Santa brought be a cute calender with pictures of my sweet boy!! Or maybe Grampy and Grammy would like one?!  http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars

Shutterfly also knows how much we parents spend on our kiddos throughout the year and have set up an awesome deal. Just for writing this blog post I qualify for 50 free Christmas cards! This is pretty much the only reason we are going to be able to send them out this year. We are so excited to see how they turn out and can't wait for you all to see them too!!!! Keep a lookout in your mailbox! Merry Christmas season!

On another note, we have ordered a replacement camera so new pictures of Cooper will be available shortly!! yay!
