Christmas with the Case's

I can't believe Christmas 2011 is over.
We had a great Christmas filled with lots of family and laughter. Santa came and blessed the kids with way more than they ever need. They are loving everything they have :)
We spent Christmas eve morning with my family. Christmas eve night with Julian's family. Then Christmas day we did our own Christmas at our house and my parents came over. We then went to church and over to my grandma's for the rest of the day. My husband and I both have big families so both days were filled with lots of people and fun.

Cooper is just so sweet. He says the most hilarious things. He always has us laughing. Just a few weeks ago my brother was here eating dinner and Cooper was so excited and hyped up that he was here with us that he threw his food. He of course got into trouble. He cried because he was embarrassed. So after talking to him about it I said "I'm sorry I got mad at you, but you need to listen to mommy. I love you".... He says nothing back. I say "can you say I love you back"? So he leans in as if he's going to give me a kiss and says to me in whisper "no I can't". HAHAAA, I seriously cracked up. It was so funny.
He thinks he's monster and he says "I'm a monster" and he growls at whoever is nearby. Even if we are out in public. I do laugh but at the same time I'm like "Stop it Cooper, please don't growl at those people".
Blakely started to full on crawl and is even pulling up into the standing position all by herself. She isn't cruising yet but she is pulling up on furniture and standing there. I always stand there really close by just in case she is about to topple over.
What a big girl she is. She is sleeping better, still having issues sleeping through the night though. She still laughs out loud at her big brother. They are like best buds.

I hope you all had a great Christmas as well and a very happy new year!
