Christmas fun - 1 of many posts!

We certainly had a very merry Thornton/Cooper Christmas!  Bill and Ms. Sam braved 14 hours in the car (each way) with three 7 years olds, and I am so thankful that they did.  It was so great to see them, and my kids are totally enamored with Hannah, Tristan and Travis. Here are some highlights from the first 24 hours!
 
Taco night! These kiddos very clearly had a serious case of the sillies.  It lasted pretty much the entire week.
 

What's more fun than tacos?  Hiding in the closet after eating tacos!  Why not?



And Uno!  Uno is way fun!  Ms. Sam was SO sweet to let Annie "play" on her team.


Photo props are way fun!  In fact, they were so fun that we adults were always too tired to actually get them out and let the childred play with them, so this is the one and only photo-prop photo from the week.


Tours of fire stations are way fun!  And they give uncles a way to show off their skills and expertise! The kids really enjoyed it, except for the part where Toby blew the horn when he didn't realize Tristan was standing right in front of the truck.  I gave him a very severe version of the the "look" for that.


This is one of the few photos of the cousins that Finn managed to get in. 



But he always has time for photos with Mommy!


See any evidence that Annie idolizes her big cousin?


Hats are WAY fun!

Going to the park with hats doubles the fun!



Hannah can swing terrifyingly high.


Slides are uber fun!

Okay, this is about as much fun as I can handle for today.  More fun to come!
