Harper’s 12th birthday!

Today Harper turned 12!

We started the day at church

then opened presents!

Her favorites were a Lulu bag (to match mine and Ashley’s) and a new iPad.

We sang Happy Birthday

 and she blew out the candles!

We watched the Chiefs win, then headed to 

Dave & Buster’s for dinner and games.

She loved playing Connect 4 with basketballs

and she beat me!

There was a giant game of Hungry, Hungry hippos

and giant Pac-Man too!

She was so excited when she hit 

the jackpot on Fishbowl Frenzy!

We played lots of air hockey

and she showed off her muscles when she won 😁

Harper won 150 tickets on the Big Bass Wheel!

She played old favorites like Fruit Ninja

and Subway Surfer.

We played Connect 4 and guess who won?

We had such a fun time celebrating Harper’s 12th birthday!

Braces!

On December 27, Harper got braces!

At first she struggled with eating and talking, but she’s getting used to them now.

Christmas 2022

We had a wonderful Christmas season!

Christy and Joel came to visit at the beginning of December.

We did two escape rooms and got out of both!

We spent time at Crown Center
and decorated gingerbread men.

On Saturday night, we got to catch up 

with the Beckett side of the family.

Harper performed with the 6th grade choir in a Christmas concert.

She visited Santa Claus

and we made our annual trip to see the 14th street lights.

We celebrated after church on Christmas Eve with Sarah’s family

We made cookies for Santa

and opened lots of presents!

Later in the day, we built the Lego aquarium.

We went to the Elf pop-up experience at Giambalvo’s.

It was so much fun!  We had such a fun Christmas season!
