Harper's Two Year Photos

We went back to Missie at ML Photography for Harper's two year photos. Harper was less than willing to smile at Missie until Ross and I left the area. Missie kept telling Harper that Ross had to potty. :) hehe he hehe. Eventually Harper warmed up to her as you can see in the gorgeous photos below!

Thanksgiving 2013

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." - Marcel Proust

Our family has so much to be thankful for this year (and every year). We celebrated with Ruthanne, Dennis and Emilie on Thursday and the Harper/Connell families on Friday. Since Dennis isn't a fan of turkey, Grandma Ruthie prepared roast (one of Harper's favorites!) Harper helped wash potatoes with Grandma - it turns out that she is a pretty great assistant! When it came time for the meal, Harper devoured the dish (as did the rest of it). She loves roast and gravy - in fact, for a while I think she was eating just spoonfuls of the gravy. (it's a good thing she is a peanut!) The meal proved too much for Harper and she fell asleep at the table. After lunch, we all helped getting the tree ready for Christmas.

The next day was Thanksgiving at Grandma Judy and Buppa's house. And, let me tell you, it was a full house. This year, in addition to the normal crew, we were joined by Matt and Lily, Jon and Aidea (Renee's friend's sons). That is a grand total of 9 kids. I know understand what it was like at my Grandma's house when I was young. The kids had a blast and the parents managed to hold on to our sanity. We had an awesome meal and a relaxing afternoon.

The Littlest Angel

She is part angel, part fairy and part super-hero. No matter what, she was really cute to watch flying around the house.

Crafts

We bust out some crafts from Hobby Lobby last week.  Harper had her first experience with markers and loved coloring her owl. She's my talented little artist!

Bed Time Snack

Harper always has a bedtime snack with her "poop juice" (juice with miralax). Her favorite is canned peaches or pears. She happily gobbles up piece after piece! YUM

PS - please notice Harper's Flintstone feet. I think they are adorable - and she has always crossed her ankles. She's such a little lady.
