Christmas

Such a wonderful Christmas we had!! 

Harper really got into opening presents and was a pro at it! 

Santa Claus or "Claus" wasn't a hit yet again. Maybe next year. 

We continued our tradition of new jammies on Christmas Eve and Harper loved her dear jammies. She seems to really like dear right now!  

Harper helped make her first gingerbread house, except she was more interested in the m&m's;)

Harper's favorite toys: wooden eggs, shopping cart, and Minnie and Mickey stuffed animals.

We also started a tradition of writing down what she would like for Christmas. This year when we asked her what she wanted, all we got was cookies! She loves her sweets!!! 

In all of the tradition starting/making, presents, baking, family gatherings, Christmas light looking ....may we always remember the real reason for CHRISTmas.

Making our gingerbread house

At granny's Christmas 

We bought granny a cookie jar with all her grand-kids names on it. I always love giving more personal gifts.

Harper usually doesn't complain much but we had a pouty face for a few seconds.

Aye, yai, yai...how long will this take us! haha

Had to throw her wrapping paper away after each present

She loves her nana

These two just have so much fun together. So thankful Harper has cousins close in age!

I love receiving Christmas cards and get excited when I check the mail! I loved looking at these everyday! 

And, our Christmas card

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
