Ware Christmas

The Wares came down on Sunday, unfortunately it took them almost twice as long as usual to get here because there was so much traffic. At least Harper was up from his nap when they got here to make the trip worth it! We opened our presents after Harper went to bed. Grandpa Jim kept up the tradition from his father by giving away our presents before we opened them. Okay, so it only happened once, but is was too funny! Mary Lou had just finished telling the story about how Paw Paw would do it and then Jim did. Jim didn't realize that Mary Lou had wrapped our presents separately and he was talking about the other present so it wasn't really his fault!
Allen and I got some great presents-a tripod for our video camera, new pots and pans (that we hopefully won't ruin like our old ones) and a hotel stay in Boone, NC (with or without Harper our choice). Thanks Mary Lou and Jim!Harper got to play with his new walking toy from Aunt Meredith the next morning.
What is in this bag and how do I get it out of there?
A truck-so fun!
More bags-those are easy to open!
Harper is good at throwing and kicking his new ball toys!Grandma reading Harper his new book

Jim and Meredith had a quick trip-they weren't even here 24 hours. Meredith had to get back for work and Jim needed to get back for the bathroom remodel. Mary Lou is staying here to watch Harper while Allen and I go to the MSU bowl game in Orlando for New Years!
