Finally!

One year and twenty eight days later....

Visit with Santa

We braved the mall tonight & lucked out being 3rd in line! Harper whispered her wish, but Claire wasn't too thrilled!



Waiting in line.

Advent Day 8

Paint nails "Christmas" red! And of course top with blue sparkles!

Guess who's glad to be one!

Claire's First Birthday

We had a great time with family and good friends celebrating Claire's birthday today! I'm posting these few photos that I took because our good friend, Stacy, took a ton and I'm sure they are amazing and I can share with you soon!

She loved the cake! 

 Love those little hands shoveling it in! 

 Mommies and babies-Allison & Nathan, Lauren & Charlotte & Joey

 Tiny ones playing...

 Claire wanted to climb in with Charlotte! 

 A little decor...

 Playing with new toys! 

 Hee hee! 

Advent day 1

We are attempting to do a daily activity this Christmas season. Day One was make cookies and watch a Christmas movie. So we for out the cookie cutters and watched The Santa Clause. Harper was very proud!

Thanksgiving and Harper's Birthday

We had such a great Thanksgiving week! We got to see all of my family in Muscle Shoals and Iuka, and them spent some good time at home and rounded out the holiday with a good visit with Ken's parents and Gammy.  We celebrated Harper's 3rd birthday and now have Claire's 1st coming up. THAT seems crazy! 

Pa Pa and his girls

 Claire was so tickled to "discover" this ball. 

 Finally the weather cleared up and we got outside to play!

 Harper said "Goose! Gooooose! Come here goose!"

 Hmmm, must've taken an ornament away. This makes me laugh! 

 The geese swam up under the bridge and honked at the girls. Claire "honked" back! 

 Just a day in the life! 

 Always loves to lick the spoon! 

 Who knows what these cousins are up to...

 Sneaking off to play makeup! 

 Happy Birthday Harper! 

 Making a wish! 

 Claire got an early gift-a baby doll. She was so excited to get it out of the box and even said "bay-bee"! Her first real word! 

 This girl loves a chair to sit in!
