Christmas 2016

Dearest Harper,

You look like such a big girl! Slow down, my love!

Traditional picture with Santa's cookies!

 This year's Christmas double smooch didn't go so well...

Time well spent with family!

I love you,

Mommy

Halloween 2016

Dearest Harper,

We moved into our new house just a few days ago, and already had plans to trick or treat at the mall like last year, because it was easy and safe and fun and you got a pretty good haul of candy. We set out a bowl of candy and a note explaining why we weren't home but would be for sure next year.

You dressed as Sulley, because Monster's Inc. is your very favorite movie. I think you are absolutely adorable! And so did everyone else!

The traditional holiday double smooch doesn't always go smoothly... It won't keep us from doing it though, so nice try! (P.S. Mommy and Daddy dressed up with you! We were Carl and Ellie from the movie Up!)

 You seemed to have a ton of fun tonight. I love watching you be so happy.

I love you,

Mommy

Your Second Birthday

Dearest Harper,

Your second birthday party was Monsters Inc themed, since that's your favorite movie. It was small - immediate family only - since we're moving in 5 days and the house was in a bit of a shambles.

You cried and cried during the birthday song!

 You cousins love each other so much!

Mommy and Daddy got you a Boo doll, to go with your current Monsters Inc obsession.

Here's a group photo of everyone who came to shower you with love on your second birthday.

Hope you had a great day, and may the coming year be even better.

I love you,

Mommy

Fourth of July 2016

4th of July double smooch!

I love you,

Mommy

Easter 2016

Dearest Harper,

Easter morning with your Easter basket!

You. Are. ADORABLE!

Easter double smooch!

I love you,

Mommy

Valentine's Day 2016

 Dearest Harper,

I'm not super sure what happened, but there aren't any pictures of this Valentine's Day.

Not even a double smooch!! Oh no!!

But Daddy did thankfully take this adorable photo of you.

 I love you,

Mommy

New Year 2016
