Happy New Year!

Hey y'all! I hope you all had an amazing holiday season! We stayed here for the holidays this year. We did have one exciting addition to our family. Jaden got a puppy!


His name is Cooper and he's a daschund. He was 7 weeks old when we brought him home on Christmas Eve. Jaden stayed at my sister's house while we went to pick Cooper up. I got a great video of it, but have had a hard time uploading it, so I'll try again later.

Jaden was REALLY excited for Santa to come. We got some great Christmas Eve pictures of Jaden and Cooper....

Jaden was Mommy's big helper and put out cookies for Santa....


And then Daddy read him "The Night Before Christmas"

Christmas morning was great he got lots toys, including what he had been asking for for months, a kitchen! (Yeah, I don't know about the face, I think he may be shootin' a Jaden's Kitchen gang sign.)

The kitchen was fun for Daddy to put together....

But he LOVES it! (even though that's not entirely evident in this picture. I'm pretty sure he was just to the "STOP TAKING PICTURES AND LET ME PLAY" point...)

We're pretty much back to business as usual. Jeremy is work, work, working at the hospital and I'm gearing up for the first Winterguard competition this Saturday in Gulfport, MS. Jaden is saying funnier and funnier things, but he's smart as a whip and loves going to work with Mommy. He likes trying to tell the girls what to do and he also loves to count for them! Cooper is just growing like crazy! Looking at these pictures from Christmas makes me think "WOW, where did that tiny puppy go?!" I hope you are all well! We'll talk to you next time!!!!
