There have been so many "firsts" the last couple days... I thought I'd share them with you!!!
On Christmas, we headed to Kim & Roger's most recent home for dinner... we decided that I'd make the turkey! (brave call there sis)... anyways, Christmas Eve I was about to make the turkey and guess what... I found the tie for an oven bag, but no oven bag!!! I freaked! How do you make a turkey without an oven bag??!?! So Matt did some research online and found that you can cook a turkey in all sorts of things... including a brown paper bag! It was qwirky enough to get my attention - so I did it! And let me tell you it was FABULOUS!
First I brined the turkey after it was thawed, then I rubbed it with really healthy butter, sprinkled some salt, pepper & garlic powder on the outside of the turkey and threw it in the paper bag, stapled it shut and 3 hours later... a turkey!! Isn't that just bizarre??!? (not the turkey, the paper bag) It's kinda cool, like opening up a big yummy present of food! My favorite thing!! Thanks to my hubby & the internet for a great idea!

Of course, it was Cooper's first Christmas! He didn't get spoiled AT ALL... :)

Cooper reading his first Christmas book!Another first today, Dec. 26, Cooper got his FIRST haircut! He was getting a little baby mullet going on... never a good thing!
Getting starting! His bumbo worked PERFECT for a barber chair!

(and he IS wearing a diaper... you just can't see it. haha!)
Daddy finishing up... just a little trim to the mullet. Cooper did really good and didn't fuss at all!
Of course he had to get a bath afterwards... and he was a very happy, groomed and yummy smelling little boy!

He's so cute! I love the picture of him with all his toys! He's very photogenic now!
He's almost as photogenic as his Daddy! I love the pictures and the naked turkey! Who would've have thought that you could bake a turkey in a paper bag? I've never done it!
Good barber chair for Cooper! He looks so big! What a cutie!
Amber Cooper is just so gosh darn cute! What a HAPPY baby!
