November-December roller coaster!

November came and went in a hurry! I had a birthday, then our sweet Harper celebrated her 5th birthday! We made it to Iuka for a Thanksgiving gathering, Claire and Ken had birthdays and then we decorated the new place for Christmas. Take a closer look:

Kids colored a Christmas ornament

Harper helped me color the icing- "raspberry". That's my girl ;)



In Iuka with Amos.






Random-this was October's First Friday downtown. 

My favorite thing about decorating this year was going on a nature walk to clip and gather greens. I have everything I want right in the "yard": cedar, holly, boxwood, magnolia & crepe myrtle berries. 

Harper loves to take photos. 



Ready for Santa! It's always challenging for me to decorate the first year in a new house. We kept it simple & it feels so cozy! 

There is a house we visit every year in Tuscaloosa. They already had all the decorations up Thanksgiving weekend and we took the girls. Daddy Ray and Grandmommy came with us. It was SO cold that night! The girls still wanted to get out and roam the yard! (Encouraged BTW!)


The girls sang with the Kids' and Youth for Hanging of the Greens at church and then again at the Choir's Christmas Program. We get to ride in the Florence parade Thursday night & have breakfast with Santa Saturday, so stay tuned! :)

Birthday Girl and lil' helper...

Good Morning Two Year Old! 


Ready for school



Harper and Daddy like to climb up the ladder to see if the kitty cat is in the neighbors yard.


Mac 'n' cheese masterpiece...doesn't everyone look better with eyebrows?



Helping me unload Christmas decorations. Note that leftover birthday present ribbon makes a great necklace! 


Harper is super active these days, and so much more of a big girl for sure. We play "itty bitty baby" and she will pretend cry, then we say "nooooooooo! Harper's a big girl! " She'll now say that Claire is an itty bitty baby. Harper is excited to be a big girl, because big girls can run and jump! 

Harper is also really into asking "whatcha doin' Mommy?" over and over and over and over....and also "what's that Mommy/Daddy?"....she has the sweetest little voice, but two or three times would be plenty!

We are counting down the days until baby Claire is here. Just two more days and Harper will be a big sister!!! Mommy is VERY ready! :)
