Christmas Card

Merry Christmas!

Ware Family Christmas

We stopped in North Carolina on the way to Michigan to celebrate Christmas with Allen's family. Harper immediately asked to open presents when we got there. So, of course, Grandma let them!

Holden just happy to be standing up

Playing with his new bath toy

Both boys got new Carolina gear

Our big family present from Grandma and Granddaddy was a swing set. It is being installed when we get back from Michigan. Harper was so excited!

We spent most of day Sunday in Kings Mountain, then we headed to Meredith and Trent's. It is closer to 77, so it made for a little less drive on Monday. More presents at their house.

Holden had more fun climbing on the presents

The Ware family was so generous and the boys got some great presents. Thank you all for everything!

Santa Came Early!

We woke up Saturday morning with a big present under the tree. Santa had left a note saying that he knew this present wouldn't fit in the car on the way home from Michigan. It also said that the rest of Harper's present would come on Christmas morning. Harper was so excited that he kissed the gator!

Reading the letter from Santa

So excited!

Of course, we had to ride it right away!

Holden wanted a turn too!

Holden also wanted to steer!

Wild man driving. He has already crashed into the tree twice and the garage once. The fast gear is really fast!

Harper's Christmas Program

Today was Harper's Christmas Program at school. He has been singing the songs at home for weeks. They have been practicing at school and even on the stage in the church. He was a little shy when he got on stage, but did real good!

His whole class with his two teachers

Everyone singing Jingle Bells

Family Pics

Janet also took our family pictures. Click here if you want to see the rest. They turned out really good and you wouldn't know that Holden cried through most of it.

Christmas Parties

We had 4 Christmas parties within 24 hours and 2 of them were at our house! We hosted the Annual White Elephant Gift Exchange. We got babysitters for the kids to play in the bonus room while the adults hung out downstairs.

Clayton really wanted to make the party an ugly Christmas sweater party. He wore his with battery powered lights anyway.

Tucker liked his singing Justin Bieber toothbrush

The gift of the night was the shake weight, with 3 of them making the gift exchange!

Tennis Extravaganza

Harper and some of the other 3 year old boys are going to start tennis lessons in January. They were having a tennis extravaganza today, so we decided to check it out. They do a lot of conditioning, but it was all so cute. Harper had so much fun and it got us both real excited for the lessons to start.

Posing with Lawson

Silly faces

Outlet Santa

I took the boys to see the Island Santa at the outlets. Harper was brave again and Holden still wasn't too sure. The photographer took a cute picture.

Holden had so much fun driving the cars. Harper was such a good sport to share.

He screamed when I took him out.

PJ Fun

I just love the boys in their pajamas. Amy mailed the boys some new pjs for Holden's birthday. Aren't they just so cute!I especially love when they are in matching ones! We just got some hand me downs for Holden and all of the pjs match ones that Harper already had!Since Holden is such a peanut, he can wear the pjs from Harper's first Christmas (although he is 4 months older than Harper was). Here are the pjs:

And here is Harper in them.
