Samuel passing out cupcakes to his classmates.
The class singing Feliz Cumpleanos!Friday night: David & I went to a company Christmas party while the boys stayed with Grandma & Grandpa. It took us 1 hour and 45 min. to get to Frisco and 35 minutes to get home. Welcome to the metroplex!
Saturday: I made this cake for Samuel's party. It is my least favorite and the hardest one I've done. Those "cute" little round things on top were the biggest pain -- they almost brought me to tears.
Saturday 11:30am: Samuel's 8th birthday party (kid party). We were a little worried, being so new, that no one from his class would show up, but we had 5 and it was perfect. Here are a few pics.
Samuel & Jaylon -- apparently his best friend at his new school.
Samuel & Carson.
Trying to push his face in the icing while Samuel blows out the candles.Saturday afternoon: Jerry hit his head on our very sharp cabinet and cut his forehead pretty bad. We debated stitches, but opted for butterfly bandaids.
Saturday night: Ate dinner at Taco Bueno with the Parks and the Tiltons then back to our house for pie.
Sunday 8:30am: The adults are eating breakfast in the dining room. The boys (Samuel, Jeremiah and my 13 year old cousin Kenny) are playing tag. They run from the play room into our room, the big boys close the french door behind them. Jeremiah apparently tries to push it open and instead his hand goes through one of the panes. Screaming ensues. David grabs Jeremiah's arm with a towel. I call 911 and ambulance arrives minutes later. They take Jeremiah to the ambulance and triage his arm. Then David & I take him to the ER where he gets 29 stitches. Yes, 29!!! It was terrible, awful, scary, stressful, all those things you are imagining right now. And I've been reliving it all week. It's hard to get those snapshots & sounds out of your mind. Jeremiah is fine now. He has a bandage on his arm that we have to change everyday. He's taking antibiotics and will proudly tell you what happened and how brave he was. (He doesn't tell how Mom almost passed out several times at the hospital -- but what he doesn't know won't hurt him).
Sunday 11am: We return home and begin getting ready for Samuel's family party. David grilled burgers & dogs. Mom brought some beans. We had a great time. Here are pics:
I LOVE the look on his face! It captures so much about who Samuel is.
Needless to say, we were all very tired come Sunday night.Tuesday: Jeremiah had his Christmas party at school. Here are cute pics:
Jeremiah and Ms. Sheri

WHAT A WEEKEND!!! Wow. Glad Jeremiah is doing well after the "incident" - hopefully that's the worst you'll ever have to see him in the hospital! Love all the birthday celebrations. May your Christmas be as joyful, but peaceful, as possible. :)
That's crazy! I heard about it from your Mom on Facebook! Glad everything turned out ok.
I don't know if you heard, but there is going to be a new little Cox in our family come August! We are SO excited!
