Christmas Eve

Harper had such a great 2nd Christmas! To start off, Christmas Eve morning we went to the Heathcott's for breakfast to meet their former exchange student from Brazil. Cam and Casey were in high school when Mateus lived with them through the Rotary Exchange Program. Mateus got married this year to Ilka. They brought their wedding video to show us and it was extravagant to say the least. They really know how to have a party in Brazil! Mat and Ilka are both attorneys in their country and their businesses shut down for 2 weeks over the holidays!! Must be nice. This was their first time to the United States since they were in high school. Hopefully we'll be making a trip to Brazil to visit them soon!

Casey, Ilka, Mat, Cam, Harper, & Allyson
Harper really liked Mat!

The boys
After a delicious breakfast we packed up and headed to Kingwood to go to church with my mom. My dad had to miss the Christmas Eve service to pick up my sister at the airport. Harper was so good during the service. He sat quietly on Addy's lap the entire time and enjoyed dancing to the Christmas music. He loved when they dimmed the lights and everyone lit a candle. He loves lights!
*5 years ago Cam and I got engaged on Christmas Eve, so every year we take a picture by the church Christmas tree like we did when we got engaged!
This is what happens when you take him away from Addy for a quick pic!

After a delicious dinner at Pappasitos it was off to bed for Harper because Santa had some work to do. Santa brought Harper a firehouse tent but his elves had no idea how big it was!! That's what happens when you order things from ebay. oops...silly elves.

1st Haircut

Harper received his first haircut this week! He is 16 months old so I feel like I have waited long enough. He had gorgeous curls, but they were a little out of control. He gets called a girl 99.9% of the time in public, so I personally felt that the first haircut was long overdue! I think I have a beautiful baby, but he can be just as handsome with a boyish haircut!!

Allie said it was her best baby haircut! He sat on my lap and was so still. I gave him a mini candy cane which probably helped:) He didn't mind her at all! So here are some pictures to capture this milestone!!






Drumroll please..........................

Montgomery Parade

We live in Montgomery, Texas, but it doesn't feel like it because I do most things in Conroe. Montgomery is a quaint little town with a lot of history. The City of Montgomery is one of the oldest cities in Texas and many consider it to be the birthplace of the Texas flag. This weekend we attended the 31st annual Christmas in Historic Montgomery. We went to the parade which was themed "A Star-Spangled Christmas" honoring local Korean & Vietnam war veterans. We shopped the square and found some unique Christmas gifts and ate lunch at King's cafe. This was the first of many more years of celebrating Christmas in our cute little town!
