The many faces of Cohen

We had some pictures taken by a good friend of ours, and they turned out amazingly! Because they are all so good, I couldn't just choose a few to post on the blog! So be warned...there are a lot of pictures!

Christmas Tree

Picking out a Christmas tree this year was a new experience. I am used to wearing shorts (capris if it's cold), going to Home Depot, and getting our Christmas tree. Not this year! We went to a Christmas tree farm, drove all around looking at all the trees (and almost getting stuck a few times), and chose the Christmas tree we wanted! They (the owners) actually came looking for us (like I said...we almost got stuck...really stuck) and they helped us out. It was getting dark and rainy. We had our saw to cut down the tree but didn't get that far. We went back to the main area and they took Sterling on one of their 4 wheelers and took the chainsaw too. I waited in the car with Cohen, and they brought back our tree! And we paid about half what we used to at Home Depot, and they had free cider!

A picture with the tree and the snow outside...so pretty!

And a random one that I really liked. =)

Grandparents

Last Sunday we had Cohen's blessing. My parents were able to come up the Thursday before and stay for about a week, and Sterling's parents came up the Saturday before and headed out with my parents. It was great to have them all here, and I know Cohen loved all of his cuddle time!

I hope my mom doesn't mind this picture, but it's a classic! (This was their first day in town. I won't say how long she stayed in her PJ's holding the baby) =)

I had finals while they were here. Not fun for them, but I was very grateful! It allowed me to finish projects and take exams, and now I'm finished...with my degree! Yea!!!
