Ice Skating

They had an ice skating rink outside during the Holidays here!

After a lunch break Harper decided to take a couple laps around the rink


She got brave and decided to try it out herself

This is the outfit that Harper chose to go ice skating the second time



She decided to try it without the ski helper

Then we decided we were DONE!!!

Sydney got even braver

Then we fell

This is how she wanted to skate after the fall

Before and After a day in the snow

Outside enjoying the flurries starting to come down, mom ran inside to grab gloves and then……...

Harper tripped and fell into our retaining wall and ended up having to go to the OR for several layers of stitches. (This is a right before Harper drove the Barbie Jeep into the OR)

By the time we made it back home there was a light dusting and Harper was back to her normal self once the anesthesia wore off.

The night before Christmas

Reindeer food = Corn, bird seed, and sprinkles (If my girls ask if reindeer like any of the listed ingredients I hope you tell them YES!!!!)


Harper was more of a thrower, than a sprinkler

Cookies, Cheese (for santa mouse), and Milk

One last picture with Sophie (our elf) before she flies back to the North Pole

Meeting Santa

We went to Home Depot to find the perfect Christmas Tree and Surprise Santa was there!!! 

Dinner with Santa!

SWEEM Christmas Program

This year Sydney and Harper were both in their schools christmas program!!
Sydney was a sugar plum fairy in the night before christmas! (Got to love that she was able to use that ballet costume again :)

At the end of the program Harper's class came out and sang Jingle Bells with Sydney's class

They also sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas".  They even had hand movements, that Harper actually did!!!

Harper was a star in her very first Christmas Program

Beach Pictures

Now that the Christmas Cards are out, I can post some of our pictures from this summer. The photographer did a great job with it being a million degrees and no clouds and three kids! I am posting a ton and apologize now!
Notice the orange flip flops on Harper (She would not take them off until we got down to the sand)

They were able to change them to white! (I love this Picture!!)


Abigail was a little camera shy, but this one turned out great!!!
