Bathtime...
Bathtime around these parts are not scheduled, rather it happens every two days (most of the time). It could be morning or night, but we get it done...as a team! Some days he may bathe them both, some days I bathe them both, or some days we each tackle a child. Either way it gets done and the end result are two clean girlies. Here is footage of daddy bathing Liv. She loves bathtime and is content the entire time, even when her daddy almost drowns her:) She is more active now so what happened on film below has happened to this mama! Too funny that I caught it on film.

New Years Day
New Years Day was spent at the lake/Loup City with the Dorsey side of the family. We are fortunate enough to have Christmas every year with this side. Each year the family grows and it is tricky to find a day when everyone can attend but we are still going strong having our family gathering each year:) Great Grandma Dorsey puts together a program each year and has her great grandkids participate. (Bailey, Carter, Hunter, Kenleigh, Leighton, Harper, & Livia) Harper carried the symbolic candle and Liv was the angel:) I was involved because we didn't have enough kids to represent the symbolism and I happened to be in the mix. Next year baby Holmquist (My neice or nephew:) will be the missing link. The festivities don't stop there...we sing the 12 days of X-mas where each family has one of the 12 days as their part. We eat great food, have good conversation, have a gift giving game, and play games at the end. Some played poker while others played Mexican Dominos. What a great time we had!
Cousin Jordan playing with the second cousins:)
I was so impressed how well Harper played by herself. She did play with her cousins quite a bit but I then found her playing with Cousin Kenleigh's new Barbie set for awhile all by herself. This is rare, as she usually wants us or other adults to play with her or at the very least watch her play. Our little girl is growing up!
A snipet of the program:)

These boots...
These boots are made for walkin and that's just what they'll do....one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you...
One of Harper's things is to put boots on. She is not biased to whose boots... it could be her rain boots, her snow boots, my boots, daddy's boots, Grandma's boots or Aunt Kate's boots. I have a feeling her boots will someday walk all over us...oh let's say when she's about 15:)

skypin the g-rents
Although we live 60 miles from Grandma & Grandpa Dorsey and see them quite often...we can't get enough of them. Harper LOVES them dearly and frequently asks about going to their house. Even after we leave there to drive back to Omaha, she is asking to go back to their house. We tend to Skype every now and again to get our fix....
