Seems like winter is here...or at least the cold weather. I'm already anxious for spring and snow has not even covered the ground yet. And now that it's December, we have a busy few weeks ahead of us with not only the holidays, but 3 birthdays in our family - with the most special being Harper's on Jan. 4. Hard to believe she is almost 2. With 2, comes a new daycare room/teacher, so I'm not looking forward to that. Harper does well with new things like this, so I shouldn't be worried. I'm more sad our little girl is growing up so fast!
Harper is loving the holiday season, singing Jingle Bells, reading Santa books, watching Santa cartoons, finding 'elf on the shelf', looking at Christmas lights, etc. It will be fun to watch her open presents this year and see how excited she will be!
As with all posts, enjoy some recent photos below:
Harper preparing for bedtime with some quiet time and a cartoon on the couch - in her holiday jammies.
Thanksgiving at the Gyolais. Harper loved playing and jumping around on their couch, and hiding under the pillow.
Festival of Trees and Lights! Harper enjoyed this twice - there was even a Sesame Street tree and a Dora tree...so she loved those!
In the children's train at Festival. I wasn't sure if she would like it or not, but she got right in there and loved the ride! Thankfully, she did not throw a fit when it was over!
We've figured out a solution (possibly short-term) to get Harper to eat at home. She loves Dora yogurt - and Noah noticed she especially loves the cup the yogurt comes in. So we've started putting all her food in a clean yogurt cup...and call all her food Dora food. So it's Dora chicken, Dora meatballs, Dora carrots. It's working well for now!
She somehow squeezed herself into this small box - and then struggled to get out!
Another way we get her to like brushing her teeth is the Thomas the Train toothpaste we bought. It's all about marketing - how terrible is that!?!?!
She loves her lion right now and it's so cute to see her cuddle with it.
Living in a 110+ year old farm house poses its challenges in the winter, especially when it's cold and windy. Last year we did straw bales around the foundation, but that invited the mice in (which totally sucked). So this was Noah's solution this year. He created a new wind break with round bales. I must say, it's not the most attractive of additions to our yard - but if it keeps our living room warm this year then I will be happy! And to add a little joke to the horrible eye sore, Noah put boots in the end to make it look like he was baled up in it. My sister thinks this should be our x-mas card!
Yesterday morning, Noah and Harper shared a bowl of lucky charms - it was very cute!
