Veteran's Day with Emily!

A little late posting this, but I think it's worth sharing!

On Veteran's Day, my niece, Emily, invited us to her school's assembly. It was wonderful! Each grade sang one of the songs for each branch of the military. Emily sang the Army song this year. She did very well! There were pictures and readings and all kinds of special things. Cooper had fun getting to see where Cousin Emily goes to school!

We just found out Cooper can dance, and dance much better than his dad.

Family Photos

We tried to get some nice family photos. We went to a local park with friends of ours and took a few snaps. There were a few good ones and maybe it'll make it to a Holiday card. Cooper was a lot more interested in running around though...

First Trick or Treat

Cooper went on his first ever Trick or Treat around his friend's neighborhood. He was dressed in a homemade costume that Mommy and Daddy made. Can you guess what he is?
He was a little shy of all the costumed people but he eventually went to each house and grabbed a candy out of the bowl. He made great choices (for mom and dad) and carried his little pumpkin bag the entire way.
All in all, it was a great Halloween!!

New Hat

Cooper just got a new hat and he's in love with it. He gets compliments everywhere he goes and he won't take it off even at daycare. Maybe we'll get him a baby tux and it can be his Halloween costume.

Mama's Twenty-...

We celebrated mama's birthday with dada's amazing spread of tempura and a whole bunch of great friends. Cooper didn't eat any of the tempura but still had fun with everyone. Mama got a crazy present from dada and she was in shock. Oh well, I'll just wait until she's board with it and then it will be mine!!

Great Grandma

Great Grandma Anno was visiting Minnesota so we decided to go see her. Cooper had such a wonderful time with her. We all visited the Mall of America, ate lots of great home cooked meal, and of course watched football.
