Christmas and the New Year

Christmas!
We had an awesome few days off.  Lynn was home for 4 days in a row so I decided to take advantage of it and try to sleep train Cooper.  The first couple nights were long.  He would wake up at 1 and we would just bring him to our bed and put him back to sleep and let him eat when we woke up at 4.  By the 3rd night he was sleeping through until 4 on his own. It is great to get 6-7 hours of straight sleep again!  I feel so rested!  We spent Christmas Eve at Lynn’s grandmas and slept in on Christmas Day.  We had Lynn’s parents watch Cooper while we saw The Hobbit (good, but long!).  We opened some awesome presents and got to Skype with Lynn’s younger brother who is serving a mission in Iowa.  He hadn’t seen the baby yet so it was fun to introduce him to Cooper.  We also got hit with a ton of snow, which sucks.  Lynn and I hate the cold!  We got Cooper a quiet book for church, some new jammies, and toys.  He also got some baby Einstein DVD’s, baby signing times, more toys, and clothes.  It was a great first Christmas but we are looking forward to him being old enough to be excited for it.

We also welcomed in the New Year by going to bed early.  We are lame but the sleep was worth it.  We had a relaxing morning and celebrated with brunch at some friends.  We also got to feed the elders that night.  We are excited to see what the New Year brings!  We have already started some fitness challenges and look forward to running a half marathon later this year.  I would also love to complete another triathlon!  2012 was an amazing year but we can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store!
