Christmas Eve

We did Christmas on Christmas Eve. Since Christmas fell on Sunday this year we knew it would be too hard to have Christmas before Church and since Harper is so little she didn't know the difference. There were so many things I want to do for Christmas and I cannot wait until Harper gets older to do these things. Such as bake cookies, elf on the shelf, letting her pick out toys to donate to a charity, put out reindeer food and so on. On the other hand, I SO enjoyed her first Christmas as a baby. We enjoyed family time and everyone enjoyed just holding and loving on Harper. We love to just sit and watch her play or listen to her growl. This time is so precious and so limited.

Paul bringing in Harper to see the gifts Santa left for her.

Paul thought it was funny that Santa left formula!

My mom found all the boys matching pajama bottoms in their favorite team

I got Paul sleds for Christmas. I got him one that is a flying saucer from LL Bean and the one above that seats 2. He is such a kid I know when it snows and Harper is old enough to go play he will love to take her.

Harper and all her goodies. Don't you love the barbie fishing pole from my dad!

Michael gave her this adorable polo hat. He bought it a while back and told me about it. He could not wait to give it to her.

my parents gave Harper a jewelry box. She got some baby jewelry when she was born and I wanted a safe place to keep it.

This picture is funny because before Harper most of our pictures included Bella, but since Harper she hasn't been in too many. It's nice to see her again-ha

I think someone is excited about diaper covers.....

best part of christmas is the paper!

We left cookies and milk for santa and mini powdered sugar donuts (cheerios) for the elves.
