A Laid Back Weekend

This past weekend was the first in a while that we haven't been traveling, had a birthday party or a to-do list a mile long.  It was so nice for us to relax a little and just spend time together.  The weather was gorgeous, so we were all able to get lots of fresh air and play outside.  We did a little Christmas shopping, lots of laughing and lots of eating.  I was so spoiled this weekend because Trenton cooked every meal, I think.  And it was all yummy! 

We got out Cooper's high chair and cleaned it and we have stopped feeding Carsyn in the bouncer.  Food was going everywhere and it was not fun to clean up.  She LOVES the high chair.  She is happy to just sit there and play while we do some cooking and cleaning.

Carsyn also LOVES Cooper.  Cooper is easily her favorite person in the world.  She watches her every second and it is adorable.  Cooper can get Carsyn to stop crying in an instant by making her laugh like a crazy person.  This is a big help- but just like everything else- we are the mercy of Cooper- so it all depends on when she is in the mood! 

Carsyn loves to touch Cooper and especially loves pulling her hair.  Cooper acts annoyed, but she is so delighted that Carsyn is able to play more.  It fills my heart with happiness to see the girls interact.  I may be wrong, but I think in the future that Cooper is going to be the mischevious one and Carysn will happily be peer pressured in for the ride.

I am so proud of Cooper and the way she has adjusted to having to share attention. 

We bought Carsyn a seat for the bath (kind of like a bumbo for the water) and the girls were prunes by the time they got out of the tub last night.  Bath time is such a fun time in our house.

Overall, we have decompressed a little and are gearing up for the rest of the year.  We have something planned every weekend until 2010 and we are excited for all the fun things on the horizon...
