O Baby!: Cowboy Christmas

On Saturday evening, we decided to continue with the Christmas festivities...cowboy style! We called up our good friends the Haywoods and invited them over for a Texas sized meal - a spread of bar-b-que, plenty of sides, and even some banana pudding for dessert. (FYI - we are still eating leftovers!!) And after we stuffed ourselves silly, we headed down the road a few miles to the small town of Fulshear. Each year they host a fun-filled event called Cowboy Christmas. The whole town transforms into a Christmas wonderland, and boy, do they go all out! A parade of lights, live music, a petting zoo, and even pictures on a longhorn! (I have to stop the anticipation there - neither Hayes nor I climbed on top of that beautiful creature...maybe next year though!) The kiddos were in awe as they took in all of the sights, and they adults had a pretty good time too. We were so sad when we had to call it a night, but we are already planning a trip back again next year!!

*Side Note - Some where in the course of the night, Cody got ahold of my camera and decided to mess with the settings. This small act resulted in some blurry pictures and a stern talking to from a not-so-happy wife. It's okay though...I forgive you, honey!

We tried to start off the night with a quick photo shoot...but Hayes and Maddie were entirely too preoccupied. Oh well, they're still pretty stinking cute!
