Birthday Busy Day

Sunday, December 21st, was Harper's actual birthday, my sister Blaire and I had planned months back to take her to Brunch with Santa at the American Girl Store.  I had missed so much church lately, I decided to stay behind and Erik took my place.  She was so excited to go.

Ready for brunch with her Isabelle doll. 

 

Sad I could not be there, but I love this picture of Daddy and Harper. He said he had the best time, and she LOVES her Daddy.

Telling Santa all about it...a Lalaloopsy doll, and a Barbie camper.

And...we can't forget bye-bye hugs.

After breakfast and Church, we headed home and had Christmas dinner at Erik's mom's house with Erik's brother Adriene and family, his Aunt Patsy also came in and one of her grandsons Jaxson.  After a great lunch, we headed to Athens to watch Harper's Nutcracker performance.

 

The most beautiful Snow Angel.

 

The ballerina bunny she got at intermission.

 

And, the finale....

 

After the show, we swung by Taco Casa, the birthday girl's request, and headed home.  A wonderful day.

 

 

 

 

 

Harper's 4th Birthday!

Our little princess could not have been born at a busier time of the year, December 21st.  However, I have done my best to celebrate her birthday as normal as possible.  Saturday morning December 20th we celebrated her big 4 with nothing else but a Frozen party!

Brother and Sister ready for the party.

The Elsa Cake.  My friend Nikki made, it was so good and she is sooo talented!

The Cake Table, complete with Harper's favorite and requested Birthday food, "Pigs",

 

The cookie decorating tables ready to go, complete with Elsa crowns for the girls and Sven antlers for the boys.  I made frozen aprons for everyone with their initials embroidered on them.  There are also a few dozen snowflake cookies on the table ready for decorating.

The big kids are ready too,

Too good not to eat!

 

Such a happy girl.  We love this little one to pieces and are so glad God blessed us with her.  Her little "Sassy Princess" self has brought a whole new dynamic to our house. She makes me smile everyday!

 

After cookie decorating, the kids played pin the nose on Olaf, which Cooper colored for me that morning.  I love my little artist,

Harper patiently awaiting present time!

Nanny and Pops brought Harper Isabelle, she was so so so excited.

 

 

What's a party without cake? Waiting to blow out 4 BIG candles.

After the party, we headed to Athens for a dress rehearsal of The Nutcracker, she was making her debut as a Snow Angel and was so excited.  This girl does not know the meaning of stage fright!  A very busy but special Saturday.
