Christmas 2008

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year. Harper was so excited so it made it that much better. Curt and I are like little kids we could not sleep for days before because we were so excited. A couple nights before Christmas we didn't go to bed until 4 am. We had so much fun. Harp had a cold so he was not feeling the best, but he still got into it.

We always have a party with my mom's side of the family on Christmas Eve. We do it at my sister Kamie's house. We had a nice dinner and then exchanged gifts with each other. Then we stayed and Harper made cookies for Santa with his girl cousins. They all kept eating the cookie dough. Harper could not get it in his mouth fast enough.




After all of that excitement we went home to open our Christmas jammies. Harper looked so cute in his.


As I said Harper wasn't feeling the best so we had a rough night to say the least. He could not stop coughing all night long. So we ended up with an hour and a half of sleep. That didn't stop us from having fun though. We ended up just getting up to see what Santa brought at 5:30 AM. Harper was so excited to see he got his DRUMS!!!!! He was so cute he ran right to them starting counting 1-2-1-2-3-4 then he shouted hit it Moe. If you don't have a toddler than you probably don't know who Moe is. He is off of the "Doodlebops." He plays the drums on the show. He rocked out for a minute than he ran to the window and started shouting "Thanks Santa, Thanks for the drums Santa." Too cute if you ask me. Harp was so excited over the drums that he didn't open another present for almost 2 hours.

We headed up to my dad and moms house at 8:30 AM for Christmas breakfast and to exchange gifts with my family. My mom did an awesome breakfast as always. We had the works, Harp had to help daddy cook the hash browns.


Nanny and Papa gave Harper a GUITAR!!!! He was so excited he knew what it was as soon as he got a tiny bit of paper ripped off. They gave Curt and I 1/2 a beef! We are so excited to not have to buy meat for a long time.

We then went to Honey and Papa Micks house they spoiled Harper. They gave him a scooter, and a cute baseball thing and some more stuff.



We came home and napped Harper then off to Ashley and Jason's for Christmas dinner. The food was delicious. Harp loves playing with Jack and Jett. After that we went back to my parents to play games. It was a long day considering the lack of sleep the night before. We had such a great Christmas. We hope that you did too!
