Easton's First Haircut

In preparation or family pictures, we got the boys haircuts at Korean barber shop by our house.  This was Easton's first real hair cut, so I had to take pictures.

His hair was so long before we cut it.  It kept getting in his eyes and was just out of control. As much as I hated to cut his curls off, it was time. 

Kayden loves his haircut :)

Easton post hair cut with his sucker. :) He did not like getting his hair cut, so I had to hold him on my lap while the lady worked quickly to get it done.  It isn't super even all over the place, but I think it turned out well over all.  He just looks so grown up! Where did my little baby go?

Of course the obvious pose to give after getting your hair cut is to pretend to punch each other.

Seoul Lantern Festival

Every year, there is a lantern festival along a stream within the city.  We have heard that it gets crazy busy on the weekends, so we decided to go last week during the week. So much time and effort went into this festival! It was so fun to see.

Kayden's Christmas List

Kayden is really do so well with reading and writing, so he was excited to write his own Christmas list this year.  I wrote it out, and then he copied it on his paper.  He did such a great job writing it out! It is so fun to see him grow up! 

His letter says: 

"Dear Santa,

For Christmas I would like

-A kindle

-Pogo stick (what?)

-Crayon Maker

-Pirate Lego Set

Love, 

Kayden"

Blackhawk Helicopter Ride

The weekend that Kelly and Karissa were visiting, the base was holding an exercise called NEO. It is an exercise to practice evacuating in case of an emergency. Its scary to think that something like that could happen, but it was good to practice.  In there ever was an emergency, Greg would have to stay here while the kids and I left, so I was the one who had to go through the exercise.  

Part of the exercise was taking part in helicopter rides over Seoul. Only kids ages 7 and older were allowed to participate, so it was just Deagan and I that got to go.  I was nervous to do it, but how often do you get to fly in a Blackhawk helicopter?! It was fun to do with Deagan, and I think he had a great time.  A little girl got motion sick while we were in the air, so I was more than ready to be back on the ground towards the end of the flight. (Which only ended up being around 25 minutes.) I am grateful for the opportunity we had to do this!
