Goodbye Mullet!

I always pictured Brock's first haircut in an actual barber shop being cut by someone other than me or Tommy (probably Tambo). However, we couldn't take the odd patch of hair on the back of his head anymore that just wouldn' fall out like the rest of it. So we decided to buzz it down to match the rest of his head. He looks so handsome now!

My little angel before the haircut began...

He got upset when he realized it was gone :)

After

A Henricks Holiday!

This Christmas was not only special because it was Brock's first Christmas and our first Christmas as parents, but we were able to spend it with the whole family together for the first time. Tommy's mom, sisters and brother-in-laws came in from Alabama, his dad and Becky live here in Dallas now and my family was a short drive away. Brock had such a good Christmas and was spoiled rotten by everyone, which made the whole holiday perfect! We are very blessed to have so many people that love us and realized just how important this was to our little family.

On Christmas Eve we went to church with Tommy's family

Later that night after dinner we decorated the gingerbread men I made earlier that week

Everyone worked hard on their families...

We even had a surprise visit from Santa! (aka Tommy)

Me, Tommy and Brock had Christmas morning to ourselves to enjoy Brock's first time to open presents

Kissing his penguin

His aquarium for his crib

His turtle Aunt Tay got him

Later that morning the rest of the family joined us

The boys with their books

For lunch we went to Kaufman to my aunt and uncle's house

All the grandkids and great grandkids

Opening presents at Mimi and Papi's

Worn out from all the presents

We met at Tommy's dad's house in Dallas for dinner

The wishbone...

His very own bomber jacket with custom patches

It was such a great Christmas and we are so glad that we got to spend it with everyone. Can't wait for next year!
