Christmas with The Sandidge Extended Family

Christmas continued on Sunday ~ we exchanged gifts with Bubba Sandidge's extended family. Fortunately, Gigi and Papaw held the party at their house, so Cooper was able to take a 2 1/2 hour nap and Reagan was part of the welcoming committee! We all had a great time and look forward to seeing everyone again next year!!

Christmas with Mamaw and Papaw

On Saturday, we drove to Soddy-Daisy to celebrate Christmas with Mamaw and Papaw. Reagan and Cooper enjoyed playing with their grandparents and all of their cousins.

A new baker's kit ~ just what she wanted. Once she opened this, she was ready to bake ~ right then and there!

Finally, Cooper now has a doctor's kit of his very own! Will this stop the fighting? I doubt it!

Christmas with Gigi and Bubba

We came to Tennessee and celebrated Christmas with Gigi and Bubba on Friday. I don't know if Reagan and Cooper were more excited to see their grandparents or to have Christmas again! Actually, I do know ~ Reagan had Gigi running in circles playing tea party, playing with the doll house and eating nuts!! Cooper was glad to have someone else to play with other than me and Greg!

Cooper, Bubba, Ginger, Gigi, Greg and Reagan enjoying steak and potatoes

The first present of the nightPaper, just what he wanted!!

A PINK guitar

What shall I play first?

When Reagan opened her guitar, she didn't want to open any other gifts.

Cooper opened maracas and started dancing Dad even got in on playing the guitar!

Cooper got a guitar too

Having dessert and "girl talk" with Ginger

A game daddy can play ~ Gator Golf

Cooper thought he'd try his hand at golf

Is it a guitar or a cello?

Again, I have several cute videos to post, but can't get them to load for some reason.

Christmas Day 2008

Christmas morning was such a special time for our family. Reagan and Cooper enjoyed playing with the toys Santa left and Reagan was especially excited that Santa ate all the cookies she had baked for him and drank all of his milk.
