Whew!! We are back. We had a great time, but are so glad to be back home!!
Before I share our vacation pics, I need to finish from Cooper's big day!!
At our house, we always do a birthday doughnut with a candle on the "real" birthday. Well, his "real" birthday was his party day too!! Lucky boy!!

Presents were next. He had asked for this a few times, but Jamie and I weren't sure we wanted him to have one yet. But, we knew it was what he wanted. So, instead of trying to find something else he MIGHT like, we went with what we KNEW he would like.

A Nintendo DS.
Haven't a clue what the DS means, but I do know this: HE LOVES IT!!
For those of you who may not know, Nintendo DS is a hand held video game console.

He also got several games to play. He has been having a blast and has not minded adhereing to our rules about playtime.
