Slater Visit
Remember us mentioning that Bo's mom, sister, and stepdad came to visit us right after Christmas? Well, here are some photos from their trip. We had a nice time visiting & mostly just hanging out....which is why you'll notice all of these pics are taken on our couch!

Harrison's 1-Month Birthday
Harrison celebrated his one-month birthday on Saturday, although we can't believe the time has gone by so fast! Today was his 1-month checkup. He weighed 1o lbs, 14 oz and measured 22 inches long. His little legs and arms are starting to get chubby & we even saw a little bit of a belly roll today, which we think is adorable. He's doing great & is perfectly healthy, even though he got the maddest we've ever seen him today while getting his shots! He's such a sweet, laid-back baby. He doesn't really get upset, sleeps great for a newborn, and eats lots. He's got all of us wrapped around his finger, that's for sure....even big-brother Hampton, who loves "baby Harrison", as he calls him. We can't imagine what it would be like without him, and we're so looking forward to all the fun we're going to have with him!

Christmas Brunch
Last year, we went to IHOP for Christmas brunch, and it was so easy & good that we decided to go again this year. So after opening gifts, we headed to meet Grandpa & Grannie. Hampton LOVES pancakes once his Granddaddy told him it was "cake", so he was thrilled to eat lots of them. We had a great time visiting & playing with Hampton before the meal arrived. It was in no way fancy or fussy, which was great with us!

Christmas morning
Everyone had been telling us that this would be a fun Christmas for Hampton, because he'd really start to understand it this year. So we were really excited about Christmas morning and to see how he'd react. He's such a grateful child and just loves anything & everything you give him. He'd been practicing "Merry Christmas" and had been saying it to just about everyone!
Anyway, we had fun setting up the gifts for both boys on Christmas Eve (yes, we bought the same amount of stuff for Harrison because we don't ever want it to be said that we don't treat them equally). After reading the Christmas story from the Bible, we went out to see the gifts and Hampton didn't disappoint! He loved looking at his new picture Bible with Bo and playing with the Pillow Pets that both he and Harrison received. Of course, he has been loving on both of them, so we may owe Harrison a new one by the time he's ready to play with it!
The hardest part of Christmas morning was getting Hampton to hurry up.....every gift he wanted to stop & play with, but we were in a bit of a rush to get to brunch! As for Harrison, we opened gifts with him once Hampton went down for his nap. He wasn't too interested.....we were just hoping he'd stay awake long enough to get finished. It was a fabulous Christmas morning, and we loved being a family of 4!

A Henson Christmas
Now that the new year is upon us, we thought we'd go back and recap our Christmas celebrations. We started with Christmas dinner at Grandi & Granddaddy's house the Friday before, since they were going to TN for the holiday.
We had a delicious dinner of breakfast foods, including the famous tenderloin & gravy that Tanner"s grandmother makes on Christmas morning. We love breakfast for dinner.....we get to have some of our favorite foods while being awake enough to enjoy them. Not to mention that after you eat, you're supposed to go to sleep!
We also exchanged gifts, and Hampton got what ended up being THE Christmas gift this year. They bought him a pretend fish tank that plugs in and looks like an illuminated reef with fish swimming by. It's hard to explain, but trust us, it's cool. You can see it in the picture below. Hampton is completely obsessed with it, wanting to watch it pretty much non-stop. That definitely makes a hit gift in our book!
