Merry Christmas! I was thrilled to have all three of my girls with me to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Yesterday started out busy and ended late. Matt and I decided to go ahead and get Keri a new iphone for Christmas. We found out when we were at the store that her old phone had to be disconnected in order to set up the new one. I knew it was going to be a long afternoon. And it was. She did all right for a couple of hours but then she started begging Matt to take her to AT and T. We did our best to put her off until Bree and Traci got home. I didn't think I was going to make it but finally they got home. We quickly took a few pictures and opened presents. I've never seen her so excited, screaming with joy. I was as glad as she was when she opened her present.
Traci Lynn Cooper
Keri Lee Cooper
Bree and Moka
He was so happy to see her that he wouldn't leave her long enough to get a picture so he was in all of them.
The phone was in the red bag behind Keri.
Then we went to ICE, our new Christmas Eve tradition. It's at a Resort called the Gaylord Texan. 30 Chinese artists fly to Texas to carve a huge display out of ice. This year's them was Shrek the halls. We haven't kept up with most of our traditions but we've done this for three years. We have always, as long as I can remember, gone out to look at Christmas lights on Christmas Eve. Last night we didn't look for long because we were so tired. ICE was a blast though. Depending on who you asked, the temp was between 17 and 3 degrees F. No matter what IT WAS COLD. This picture was taken outside of the exhibit. The girls were loving being together. I tried to get a pic of them from behind because they were all walking hand in hand. So sweet. I love my girls!
Another picture before we got inside.
This was at the beginning of the exhibit. I liked this Shrek except he was missing his teeth. The workers give you these huge parkas to wear inside the exhibit. I think Traci hates the cold the most!
OK, I give up. The girls want a few pictures of their mom too!
Carebear loved the movie Puss in Boots.
Traci was like "You don't have to take a picture of everything!" She humored me most of the time.
Bree was happy to be with us last night and I loved it!
Repeat after me, "DO NOT TOUCH OR LICK THE ICE!" My girls are such rebels!
It was so cold in there that towards the end of the exhibit we were practically running to get out! It was fun though.
This morning we opened Christmas presents then Keri went to one of her choir director's church to sing with the choir. She got home just in time to get in the car and head to Uncle Mark's. We had a yummy lunch of lasagne, salad, rolls and pie. We opened gifts then the five girls went through Meemo's precious moments and split them between them. Mark's pups were adorable, of course. I'll post pictures from today sometime soon. I was happy just being with my whole family.
