Harper's pet owl - closest thing we will get to a pet for a while :) And as you can see they are best buds!!

We decided a fun Friday night out would be heading out to the local Y for some swimming. Harper LOVED it!! Riley -- eh not so much :) Riley slept the first half hour and when she woke up we decided to take her in for a little dip. She did not enjoy that too much - she loves the bath so maybe it was just a little too chilly tonight. Harper had so much fun that her little lips were blue and she still refused to come out. Overall it was a great friday night!!

These two pictures Harper is giving her sister a great big hug! I love the peacefulness in her face. She loves her little sister so much!!

CHRISTMAS DAY!!

First up is the jack in the box she asked for! She loves Dragon's so Santa found a Puff The Magic Dragon Jack in the box and she loved it. You can see the shear excitement in her face. Everytime she would get that excited!

Our attempt at a family picture - unfortunately it is blurry :(

Riley Bear just hanging out :)

Daddy made Harper her very own camera and she loves it!!

Just like mommy!!

The marble run was also a big hit. Here Daddy and Harper are building a super duper big marble run!!

The other big thing she asked for from Santa was a butterfly net. As soon as she opened the box she wanted to go outside and catch butterflies but since it is a little chilly out she settled for catching daddy!

Mommy made Harper a cool dinosaur mat to play with all of her dinosaurs on. As you can see from this picture she loved playing in it while wearing her new princess dress! She is all over the place and that is why we love her!

Another camera picture!

Dinosaur Feet! Here she is stomping around in her new Dinosaur Feet (don't tell her but they are made out of tissue boxes).

Over all we have one spoiled little girl on our hands! What a terrific christmas! Santa was very good to us!!!

Christmas Eve!

What a busy day to get ready for Santa! We are ready!

First we had to head out and spread our reindeer food so that they could find our house tonight!

It includes oatmeal and glitter. Oatmeal so they could smell their way here and glitter so they could see by the light of the moon. Santa won't miss our house tonight!!

Then we met our big cousins at their church service and then went to their house for a yummy dinner.

Can't wait for Santa to come!!

(Some yummy cookies and milk, carrots for the reindeer and of course or magic key for Santa to get in)

Santa has been to our house!!

We woke up today with a little bit of a bad hair day.

So what is mom to do but take a million pictures of it!! :)

Sister Secrets already??

Thank you Aunt Gabi for the super comfy pj's!! We tried to get a good picture to send to you of the pj's but that was no easy task!!

For anyone who hasn't spent time with Harper in a while her security blanket is her belly button. She has her thumb in her mouth and her other hand on her belly button. Super cute and super strange all at the same time. Well these are footy pj's which are awesome, but very difficult to wear in our house because there is no belly button access. Oddly enough Harper LOVED wearing these pj's during the day, she would just unzip, hold her belly button and then zip up at will. But come night time she wanted nothing to do with them - that is because that time of night is prime belly button time.

Yes I have an odd daughter but we love her little quirks!!!
