Happy Birthday Party!

Cooper's birthday party was Saturday evening, but he had three days of fun!

On Friday night, Cooper got to celebrate with Clare and Jim and Aunt Bebe and Uncle Larry. Fun!

Paper! (Ok, he also got a great T-shirt)


I love that book, Aunt Bebe!

Thanks for a great party and gifts, Grandma and Grandpa! (says a very serious Cooper)

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a very fun Thanksgiving weekend with the Gershmans.

Cooper's hand and foot turkey

Three generations of Gershmans


We started the Turkey Day at Scott and Jodi's house with a lovely and delicious brunch

Clowning around with Mama

And Dada too!

We then returned to our house for a turkey dinner much later in the day

Cooper wishing all 4 of his grandparents a Happy Thanksgiving!

Playdoh fun with Scott and Jodi

The next morning, we hit the stores, and stopped for some Starbucks with PopPop

After Cooper's nap, he got the first of many birthday gifts - a Thomas tricycle!

Go, Gigi, Go!

Cooper also got a "handy, dandy notebook" to write in

Watching TV with Gigi

Smiling in his high chair

The next day we headed to the U.S Botanical Garden to see the trains

Look, Dada, up!

Clowning around in front of the twig Capitol

And finally, a family shot on the stairs


Hope you all had a very happy Thanksgiving!
