MJ

This is what you call "a good time." We recieved an early x-mas gift from Lateaf's dad and step mom. After the play on Saturday we spent our evening jammin to Micheal Jackson. Grandpa & Grandma D, Aunties Shannon, Kate, and Amy were all there to enjoy the experience. Harper LOVED it and was dancing all around saying "I doin it" and "I love it" Liv sat and cracked up while watching Harper dance. Fun times!

Annie

We headed to see the play Annie this past weekend with Grandma & Grandpa D, Aunties Shannon & Kate, and Lateaf. It was our first theatre experience with Harper. It was at a community playhouse in Lincoln. Harper did a great job of whispering and paying attention. (we practiced all week:) It was a bit long for a two year old. (almost 3 hours including a 15 minture intermission) After the first 30 minutes or so, she kept telling me she had to go potty. (BTW she is potty trained...WHOOHOOO!! We spent three days a few weeks ago restricted to the house and running around naked. It only took her one day to figure it out and a few accidents later. She hasn't had any accidents since that weekend.) Back to Annie...so we had a few dry runs to the bathroom. It was also not in our favor that the show was during naptime. After the play she was able to meet Annie herself. She was a tad shy and puzzled during their meeting but ran around afterward saying "that was fun." It was a great Saturday evening spent with the fam!

Eating popcorn before the show started and all throughout:)

Enjoying our bathroom trips during the show:)

Not too sure about her:) She was fantastic in the play and a really sweet girl.

Burn Unit X-mas Party 2010

Tonight we headed to my work Christams Party. It was hosted by the Burn Unit doc. There were a lot of peeps there I didn't know because I'm new but we had a great time eating fantastic food, drinking great wine, and being a family. It's funny because we drive by the place all the time because it's in our "hood." Harper always points and ahhs over the lights. The place is lit with LED Christmas lights and each one retails at well over our budget:) The place is a store by day selling these festive light decorations and then they have parties at night. Harper had a blast running around with all the other kiddos but had a bit of a melt down when we were leaving saying "I don't want to go." Again, she is like her momma..doesn't want the fun to end... What a great Sunday evening outing!

Decorating

So after we brought the tree home, next order of business was to deck the halls...Harper loved hanging the ornaments and the angel tree topper. It was so fun to look through all of them. My Grandma Dorsey made all the grandkids ornaments back in the day and labeled them with our names and the years. WOW, what time and energy she put into these great pieces of Christmas. Thanks Grandma D for the amazing ornaments that we will forever cherish on our tree each year. It gives such a warm family feel to our tree.



Liv was taking it all in from her bumbo chair...
Also thanks to Lateaf for being in the Christmas spirit every year. He is like a kid in the candy store around the holidays. He loves to decorate and really gets into it. He told me.. "just wait honey.. in 50 years it will be way crazier than Clark Griswold at our house." Oh how I can't wait:)

X-mas Tree Farm

We headed out with Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Frank this past weekend to pick out our tree and their tree. What a fiasco this was:) Harp had a blast picking up sticks and touching the "pokey" trees. Tis the Season...
