Christmas pics

Getting ready for Santa!! Curtis was pretty excited to find that Santa ate all the milk and cookies. He must have been a really good boy cause Santa and our families spoiled our little boy.

Cowboy Curtis. His grandpa Jim would be proud. His favorite part was the canteen.

Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays Everyone! The Tester Family loves you!

We have been busy getting ready for Christmas and it has been a lot of fun. This is the first year that Curtis has been aware of and into the holiday so it's been really great to experience. We have been watching christmas movies, reading books, we put up a tree and lights. And of course Curtis is really excited for the prospect of Santa coming to our house with presents.

There are lots of things that we haven't got around to doing too, like send out holiday cards. Oh well, maybe we'll get to those in the new year.

We're so happy to be able to spend the holiday with our friends and family. And we are missing those that we won't be able to see. Have a very Merry Christmas.

When you don't hear from curtis for a while, usually he's getting into something he shouldn't be.

We did it. We cut his hair. I never though he would be getting his first hair cut AFTER age two. I thought for sure he would be born with a big red mop of hair and it would just grow and grow. Alas, he had the Charlie Brown head for most of his life. It really wasn't until the last 6 months or so that it started to fill out a bit. I love his hair - it's the sweetest thing ever. His little curls at the back of his head that are so soft. And his head is still the best smell in the world. But it was just time I guess.
We put on a movie. Had a sucker ready - just in case (his first ever I think). And then chop. He did pretty well considering he's a two year old. Andy held him down a bit and I just cut away. There are only a *few* uneven spots, but he doesn't sit still long enough for anyone to notice them.
Of course, he is adorable. He looks so handsome in his new haircut. But all of a sudden, he turned into a little boy. Andy and I keep taking double takes - is this our baby? He looks so much older! But I guess that is the way it goes. He IS getting older and changing ALL THE TIME. Now he has a haircut to go with it.
His sweet baby curls are safely tucked away in an envelope for whenever I need them.

Happy Halloween!....ha ha ha
