Christmas Craft

Yesterday Harper and I were working on his Christmas craft. He loves to paint. I finished what I needed to and then let him go crazy for awhile as a reward.
Don't worry there is a piece of white paper on his tray. He isn't just painting his tray, although that too was covered in paint! Thank goodness for washable paint-it came off so easily!

We made snowman ornaments out of Harper's handprints. Here is the handprint.
And the finished product!

Santa and Gingerbread Houses

Hampton Lake had their annual Christmas party Friday night. Santa was there and we decorated gingerbread houses. We had a great time!
Ginger and Mary Kate were there for the fun (and Andrew not pictured)

Harper wanted nothing to do with Santa. Santa would sneak up behind and we snapped a picture before Harper knew he was there!

Harper had fun running around with his friends, especially Nicole. They were taking pictures of each other. They did a pretty good job.

Bluffton Christmas Parade

Today was the annual Bluffton Christmas Parade. We started off with a breakfast pre-party at the Colvins. It was so much fun, many of Harper's little friends were there. They ran around and played while the adults socialized. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures.

We then headed to the Jacobis to watch the parade. We got there early so we headed to try and find Clayton and Curt's cornhole float. It was great to see everyone hanging out in downtown Bluffton. We then tried to beat the parade back to the Jacobis. Harper enjoyed watching all of the floats. He kept saying "more" whenever there was a break in the action. The weather started out rainy, but by the end of the parade the sun was out!The Bluffton Cornhole float. If anyone is looking for Christmast gifts, check out their website, blufftoncornhole.com
I just love this blow up customes!

Harper's Tree

Harper is really enjoying Christmas. He ohhhs and ahhhs over all of the lights in the neighborhood. He is constantly saying "more no-nos". Of course, I am loving that he is so into everything! Here he is helping me decorate the tree in his room.
