Hanging out at the Harms Households

Our first stop on our Christmas trip was at my parents house. My brother, his wife and their two children came down from Wisconsin and stayed there. It was so wonderful to meet Addison, what a quiet little sweetheart! Ethan was hilarious, and so sweet! My brother Andrew hosted a dinner at his house, full of wonderful food. Everyone had such a nice time there! It was a nice time at my parents, except for Jason getting sick! Other than that we all relaxed, ate, ate, ate, played some games, ate, ate and just had a nice time enjoying family!Addison and Lainey checking each other out on Grandma Jane's lap!All dressed warm to head over to Uncle Andrew's!The hosts of a wonderful evening!Paper fight!Cute bows Addison!Ethan's new helicopter!Lainey not digging Kyra's sunglasses...but isn't she cute!Mary, Lainey and KyraGrandma Jane and Grandpa DougThe Dellinger'sKeep her arms full of baby girls and she can't give anyone the finger!Attempting to get a picture of the nieces and nephew!Addison and LaineyI MISSED YOU DADDY!Cute Christmas picture!

The Christmas Tree and Wrapping Paper

The Christmas tree gave us a free babysitter for many hours! She loved looking at all of the lights and ornaments. She also loved eating all of the wrapping paper, even if it was still on the presents!
Our very large Christmas Tree!Lainey putting her first ornament on the tree.Checking out the ornaments on the tree, she loved when you would spin them.The tree all decorated! It was so big we had to move out our kitchen table!Looking cute in her Santa headband!Her favorite ornament on the whole tree!
She would pull on the spring with a bell on it and make it ring.Checking out the tree with daddy!
Ripping open presents, spoiled little girl!
