The Christmas season was even more fun than usual this year. We knew Harper was too young to really understand Christmas, but we underestimated how "into it" she would be anyway. She LOVED to talk about Santa and "sing" Christmas songs. She loved the lights and really enjoyed unwrapping her presents!
Harper loved to TALK about Santa.... Did NOT like the idea of sitting on his lap.
Only slightly less terrified when daddy came to protect her.
Having festive "tea" with daddy.
Hanging out with Lily (the daughter of one of mommy's best high school friends.
High school gang, 13 years later!

Loving in Babcia
Ironing on an ironing board my parents apparently bought for me as a child but forgot to give me! It was unopened! She knew just what to do.
Watching one of Dziadziu's favorite Christmas movies, Polar Express... She Loved it
Our trip to Knightstown was delayed a day because of a snow storm. We were bummed to miss some the Reeves family from Texas but she did enjoy the snow.
