CHRISTMAS #2

What a blast we had this christmas. We were fortunate enough to get to see family and allow harlan to celebrate with the people that love him most. Now as all the decoration have been taken down and put away, I would love to share some of our Christmas day with you.

Harlan opening his gifts from Santa


Naked Baby. (He got loose while getting dressed)

Playing with the Kitty


New shoes??


New hiding place. Under Gigis tree!


Gigi got Mommy and Daddy a video camera for christmas. We are still learning to use it but hopefully will have some videos to share soon. (warning mommy hasnt learned how to be real steady with the camera yet.) But in the meantime here are a couple videos from Christmas that were taken with our regular camera

Christmas Eve

Well it has happened. All those nights that I couldnt sleep on christmas eve have returned, only now my excitement is for little man. (and instead of waking at 3 am, i slept til 7) So I am taking advantage of this time on Christmas morning to share some christmas eve photos. We had a wonderful time at Nana and Gpa's house with family. They have recently turned the garage into a play room, and we spent most of the evening watching the kiddos play in the colorful room. It was very relaxing being able to sit back and watch all the kids interact. We even got to see Alana start taking a few steps from one person to another. Amazing! Now for the pictures.

A hug for Alana after my first time seeing her take steps!!

Christmas Eve Dinner

The yummy food

Enjoying the new room and gpa and nana's!

Chocolate mess!

He found a new use for the ball he got as a gift :)

The tree xmas eve. Cant wait for him to wake up!!



And finally here is some video of Harlan using the gift from Travis, Ana, and the babies. Uncle Travis assembled it for him and he was off. What a great gift!

Dinner of champions

My little champion. He has almost mastered a new skill. These pictures are a bit if a hint to what it is. After the move we have brought back little mans bigger highchair, and it pushes right up to the counter for conveinent meals. Mac and cheese was on the menu tonite and it was a very entertaining time.... (*see video for this new skill*)

After dinner, little man decided to catch a little of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation with me. Maybe this position helps his food digest????

Christmas Fun

Last night was the annual shop christmas party. It is always an enjoyable time with lots of yummy food. Due to a combination of chasing a busy toddler around and enjoing time sitting with my husband while others chased our busy toddler around, I didnt capture a ton of pictures. But here are the few fun pictures from the night..

Harlan, Alex and Alana are really starting to get involved in playing with each other. With the twins in the walkers, they all are able to run around together and jabber at each other. Rumor was Harlan even tried to stand on the bar on the back and catch a ride as the babies took off. ireally enjoyed watching the 3 of them together last night.



Just as cute as ever!

"santa's not coming tonite?"

This morning my little monkey had his favorite breakfast. He will eat an entire banana right from the peel. He truly is a monkey!

apparently he likes pretty blondes that can sing....

Hanging at home

We are all feeling a little under the weather today and not accomplishing much. Little man still manages to look adorable though!
What a ham!!!
























Another stolen tree ornament!

His new climbing place!

Bowling

Last week, we took Harlan bowling. We went to celebrate at a christmas party with Mommys work friends and it was Harlan's first attempt to go bowling. Harlan had his own technique :



We were using a stand type thing to help little man roll the ball downn the lane and then he would immediately drop to the floor and watch the ball go down the lane. Apparently this particular turn took a little too long and he took a nap waiting for the ball to fet to the end of the lane ;)

There was also a little mishap where little man took off down the lane and Mommy took off after him and we both ended up hitting the floor. It may be awhile until we try bowling again!!

My little performing monkey!

House Tour -Harlan Style

First of all, it has gotten super cold the last few days. We even had some snow this mornng. So needless to say, Harlan's outdoor style has changed some. He is even sporting a fun coat thanks to Gigi!
Here he is modeling his new coat.

He loves the cold, can you tell??

Harlan's room is now finished as well. Here he is hanging out in his new room!

Relaxing with a book in the "reading corner".

His bed and name

closet and toybox

He loves playing in his room!

He also has hisown bathroom til someone comes along that he would have to share it with. We stayed with the jungle theme here.
