A Very Merry Cochrane Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Joy spent Christmas Eve with our family for the second time, a tradition that I hope continues.

Joy, Mom and I

Christmas Morning, every year Mom and Dad would take our picture coming down the stairs before we opened our stockings. The past few years we got bored of taking smiley pictures, so we feign surprise instead.



This year we each got a wig and an instrument from Santa...silliness ensued.

Modeling our new hoodies. Thanks Brian for my awesome hoody!!

I hope that you and your families had a Merry Christmas!

Winter Wonderland

Yesterday morning Natalie declared, "I want to go out and play in the Winter Wonderland!"

She has so much fun playing in the snow!

Mamma Mia!

Bree gave me this CD for my birthday and it has been in my car playing ever since. Recently I hooked the kids on the upbeat music and they like just as much as I do. Natalie is so blase when it comes to music, and she sings along to these songs. She and I will ride around town and I will hear a little voice say, "Mamma Mia please, and turn it up!"

Up Next: A Brown County Christmas.

My aunt Melissa gave this CD to me one christmas, and it is great. Today David asked me about it so tomorrow morning as I take the kids to school we will be laughing at the 12 days of Christmas. The traditional version is not exactly funny, but the country brown county one is hilarious. It starts out:

On the first day of christmas my true love gave to me a coon crossing possum trot creek!

It only gets funnier as the days go along.
