Deck the Halls

We got our Christmas tree yesterday!  It was a chilly day for tree shopping, but we picked a beautiful one.  I was able to put up the decorations interruption free because Harper was so consumed with my Barbie and Madame Alexander ornaments from when I was little.  She sat and quietly played with the ornaments for over an hour!  We'll see if she can keep her paws off the tree!
     
My babies!
      
      
   
In love with the ornaments!

Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving 2018

We spent this Thanksgiving in Atlanta with the Schneiders.  Harper was one very lucky girl and spent each night of our vacation with her cousins for a sleepover.  Alex, Ethan and I stayed at a hotel.  The Schneiders made a completely gluten free Thanksgiving dinner which was wonderful!  The decorations were beautiful, the menu was perfect and Emily had prepared so many fun activities for the kiddos to do.  In the days following Thanksgiving, we went to the Fernbank Natural History Museum and the Georgia Aquarium.  Harper loved all the dinosaurs at the museum and we all enjoyed the beluga whales and whale sharks.  
    
Little man's first hotel!
   
I loved all the Thanksgiving decorations! 
    
Frank met Ethan for the first time this trip.
    
     
We had the cutest little cocktails on Thanksgiving.
    
I especially enjoyed the Christmas music.

It is hard to capture of picture of Harper's face because she is always on the go!

There was a huge play area at the museum. 
    
     
    
The Georgia Aquarium!  
   
It was all decorated for Christmas.
     
     
    
Hello belugas!  
    
    
    
She will only pause to eat.
     
We saw a sea lion show.  It was so cute!
