Christmas with the Cooks

Warrenton • Columbia • California

Lots of driving and no heat in Kyle’s Saturn, which made the ride to Columbia that much more interesting.  Kyle had to work part of Christmas Day so we convoyed (Ben & Kaden in the heated car) to the Ragtag Cinema before we headed down to the farm.

The most exciting thing about this Christmas was the addition of another family member:
Lydia Faye Cook.  She is the daughter of David & Crystal Cook and was born on
December 11, 2010 and is precious.  A word not only used by me, but the BIG men of the family: David, Daniel AND uncle Gene... a word that I didn't think existed in their vocabulary.

The difference of 15½ months.  I can't remember Kaden being this small.
Also LOVING the look on Anna's face! 

Grandpa Cook making sure Kaden gets new sizes of Mizzou apparel so he knows where he came from.


"You want me to go to school where?"

Aunt Pat made sure Kaden got a lot of little books for his travels.

fitting right in with the rest of the Cook clan

The "party" moved to Steve & Dawn's basement.  True to form, many of us stayed up ridiculously late visiting and catching up.  Definitely worth it & can't wait to do it again! 

Maybe at Stephenie & Jason's wedding in 2011?  Already looking forward to that...
