So while you were hanging in Nebraska over Thanksgiving, your morning routine became eating cereal with grandpa D. Apparently you loved it as seen in the pictures:

Uh Oh...

Here comes trouble...

You are quite the little stinker pie at times. You like to test the boundaries, especially with me. For some odd reason you will listen and respect daddy but when it comes to your momma, you melt down. For instance, you pick up momma's hair pick and are walking around the house. Daddy says "uh oh thats dangerous" and takes it out of your hand replacing it with a different item that is yours. Your reaction is a little pouty face but you move on about your business. I do the same thing and you melt down completely, like I just slapped you across the face. You stand at my feet and throw a fit until I pick you up. (that is if I do) I have tried a variety of techniques in regards to working through this. It's a work in progress. At first I was really sad and emotional about it thinking that I was a horrible mother. In talking with other moms, similar stories have surfaced. Its all about training. I'm a bit envious that your dad can simply look at you when you are into something your not supposed to be, and you mind him. I, on the other hand, am going to have to work harder at getting you to listen to me:) I know that I have years and years of learning and growing with you and I wouldn't change it for anything...I love you to pies stinker pie.
Love,
Mother in Training:)

You and your dad rode with Dad's cousin Grant to Nebraska last Tuesday (the week of Thanksgiving). I stayed behind to work and then headed up after work on Thanksgiving night. You visited family and friends the entire week with your dad. So many things to be thankful for in our lives, not only on Thanksgiving day but everyday:)
Here are just a few to mention...
Amazing Family and Friends
A roof over our head
Food in our pantry & Fridge
Our health
and you-Ms. Harper Sage

Your new dance move caught on video by grandpa Dorsey this past Thanksgiving weekend:

Open Season

Your birthday happens to fall on Opening Day for the deer hunting season. This is not a big deal for your dad and I, but for your Grandpa D..IT IS:) He missed the big day last year to be apart of your big day..your birth (THANK YOU) and arrived late this year to the hunting ground due to your birthday party. He told me that you could have been born on ANY OTHER DAY OF THE YEAR and it wouldn't have been a thing but OPENING DAY...really?! We might have to compromise with him next year so he is there bright and early opening day:) This is a pic of him hugging you goodbye on his way to get the big buck:
