This O8 play cost me my stack

First of all let me say I've been reading posts here for two weeks now and I value your input and knowledge.

Could someone give me advice as to whether I played this correctly or not.

Ultimate Bet Pot-Limit Omaha/8, $.25 BB (8 handed) converter

Button ($30.60)
SB ($32.20)
BB ($34.90)
UTG ($6.95)
UTG+1 ($22.75)
Hero ($26.95)
MP2 ($20.25)
CO ($24.05)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, MP2 calls $0.25, CO raises to $0.5, 3 folds, UTG+1 calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, MP2 calls $0.25.

Flop: ($2.35) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $2.35, MP2 folds, CO raises to $4.7, UTG+1 calls $4.70, Hero raises to $21.15, CO raises to $23.5, UTG+1 raises to $23.5, Hero calls $0.

Turn: ($70.50) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)

River: ($70.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)

Final Pot: $70.50
Main Pot: $70.50, between UTG+1, Hero and CO. > Scooped by CO ($70.50).

Results in white below: 
UTG+1 has 8h Ad Kh 3h (High: full house, eights full of aces).
Hero has Td 2s 2c 4d (Low: 8, 4, 3, 2, A | High: full house, twos full of eights).
CO has Ac Ah 5d 6h (Low: 6, 5, 3, 2, A | High: full house, aces full of eights).
Outcome: CO wins $70.50. 

I thought I had best high hand on flop. I was right but was going all in too aggresive? Should I have just called the CO on the flop?
