It's a CHOCOLATE Party!

My Grandma Bird loves chocolate...to an extreme.... in fact, I'm convinced that the reason she is in such good shape is due to the amount of chocolate she eats.

So, for her 84th birthday party, she had two requests:

1) No presents, please

2) Throw me a chocolate party

Here is how it went:

post script: I weighed in at my 38-week doctor appointment yesterday...

the damage: 3 lbs in 7 days.

Don't you judge me!

The Cooper Family: 24.5 members strong!

I'm so glad we pulled off this photo... it was freezing outside, the kids were cold, people were sick, I left my tripod at home so we had to use one of Aaron's construction tripods.... but everyone pulled together, and the result is great!

MERRY CHRISTMAS,

from the COOPER FAMILY

Christmas Food Court Flash Mob, Hallelujah Chorus - Must See!

As I watched these performers boldly sing praises to the Savior, I was filled with the Christmas spirit. Whether you believe in God or not, it is difficult to deny the spirit that enters the room (or food court) when unapologetic Christians declare his name. Merry Christmas to ALL!

Meet baby Ashlyn

No, this is not MY baby. My sister, Kristen, gave birth to little Ashlyn last Tuesday. Here are some pics.
