Wonderscope Children's Museum & lunch at Fritz's

There was no work or school today because of the

Martin Luther King holiday, so we decided to go play at Wonderscope.

Harper loved picking carrots in the garden.

There was a veterinary play area.

Harper loved checking in her patients on the computer.

She gave her animals a thorough checkup

and checked their weight on the scale.

Harper has such an active imagination.

She played at this little dollhouse for quite a while.

The Lego room was a big hit too.

She learned about gravity and energy in the Raceways exhibit.

We played with the trains

then went to Fritz's to eat lunch.

 

Harper's 5th Birthday

Harper's 5th birthday was a success!

We had her party at The Kidz Playground.

She was so excited to see her friends!

The kids climbed

and ran and jumped

and played.

There were presents

and cake.

Later, we opened more presents at home.

There was more time to play

and we needed some time to rest.

We had dinner with Grandma, because it was her birthday too!

Everyone had a great birthday!

 

Christmas 2015

Harper was very excited for Christmas morning this year!

After she woke up, she immediately asked to go downstairs.
She ran to see what Santa brought.

Harper had asked Santa for a Puppy Surprise doll.

Some other favorite gifts were her own mailbox

an Elsa cape and mask

Doc McStuffins legos

and a Mickey Mouse bowling set.

She loved her Frozen karaoke machine

and loved driving her car to get the mail.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we baked cookies for Santa!

Harper was so excited to use the mixer.

She rolled out the dough

and cut the cookies.

Harper carefully placed the cookies on the pan.

Soon, we were ready to decorate!

Our candy cane looked great!

Santa, the cookies are ready!

December fun

We've been busy getting ready for Christmas.

On December 5, we attended The Nutcracker Tea Party at the Ritz Charles.

All of the kids had a great time!

Tonight we went to Zona Rosa.

Harper wanted Ashley to pose for a picture!

Harper enjoyed playing in the igloo

and she really loved visiting with Santa!

A Day With No Plans!

We woke up today and had no plans at all.

I asked Harper what we should do and she had some great ideas!

"Eat breakfast donut store."

Later, Harper decided we should "Go park."

She pretended to be an airplane

and giggled on the swings.

It was a perfect day to play at the park.

We played outside after we got home

and she was so proud of herself as she rode her big girl bike.

After dinner, Harper wanted to 

"Go ride Momma's black car. No wear shoes and socks."

We drove around town in our bare feet looking for Christmas lights 

while singing Gwinkle Gwinkle Little Star.

We had lots of fun on our day with no plans!

Sunday FUNday!

Today was our first day at Kearney United Methodist Church.

During Harper's bath, we talked about how Harper would

go to Sunday School with the other kids while Momma went to church.

She was very teary and nervous.  When we got to church, I showed

her where I would be, then took her to her classroom.

She saw the other kids playing and immediately ran

inside before I even got her signed in.  She waved and smiled 

as I walked back down the hallway.  She played and listened to a bible story

and colored and had a snack.  Then Momma was back!

We played outside in the afternoon.  The weather was so nice,

we decided to have a picnic for dinner.

Harper wasn't afraid to do the big slide.

What a fun day!
