MAKE-A-WISH RODEO

Our family was invited to go to the Fort Worth Stock Show rodeo with Make-a-Wish.  A wish kid from Minnesota wished to come to the Stock Show and we got to be part of the welcoming committee.  The kids were so excited about attending the show!  Unfortunately, when I got home from school, Maggie was burning up.  A quick trip to the doctor revealed sickness that required antibiotics so she had to miss all of the fun.

Sweet girl was miserable

Our seats were awesome!!

Waiting for Tyler to arrive

Grace is guaranteed to be found in Lauren's lap!

These kids love their Lauren!!

We had dinner in a museum - which was super cool.  One of the things in the museum was the ability to go for a bull ride.  Here are the kids riding a bull!

DECEMBER 2014

December was quite a month for the Cooper's!

Got this text one morning at work.

Bennett was so excited that his dad got to eat at his feast with him!

I love Bennett's giving heart.

My dad's entire family

Grace got a good check up!

This was Christmas Eve on the way home.  She is such a nut.

We love our baby-sitter, Natalie.  She sent this to us while we were out.

This is how we rang in New Years Eve!

Santa came!

Bennett's loot

Grace's stash

Santa brought American Girl doll stuff for Grace and Maggie to share

Maggie's goodies

My favorite part of the holiday.....the kids gathered all of this stuff.   They wrapped it and snuck it under the tree without us noticing.  They were so excited to give us things.  This speaks volumes to their hearts.
