Christmas at Disneyland

Every five years all the Harmans get together and go to Disneyland right before Christmas. So me and the kids packed up and headed to Cali for a few days. It was alot of fun spending time with family and hangingout with the cousins. The kids had a blast and were really into it and we got really cool sweaters to match the whole fam. Thanks grandpa and grandma!!

Happy Birthday Jake!

Jake turning 2!!!

I made him his own little cake and he inhaled it!
He gave up on the fork after awhile.
I love Grandpa!!


Holy cow!! I can't believe my little Jakey turned two. I know everyone says this but it really went sooooooooooooo fast. We had a little get together with our good friends the Smiths and had some cake and opened presents. The funnest part about it was that Bumpa (aka- grandpa Kent) was here to celebrate! We head to Disney this week with grandpa for the big Harman reunion and then go on to Fresno for Christmas. It's going to be crazy, but a blast! We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and those we won't see this Christmas we love and miss you! Kiss kiss, hug hug!

Preschool Performance.....

For this months enrichment we had dinner and a talent show from people in the ward. Alex's preschool teacher signed the kids up for a Christmas song performance. They sang Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer, with the only little boy in their class, Dillon, being Rudolph. Mrs. Candace even had it a little choreographed. At first I didn't think they would get up there, but they all pulled through and it was awesome!! Alex practiced all week and did amazing! My camera was so full of pictures that I only got a little of both of the songs.

Attempt #5

I have attemped 5 times to get a family christmas card picture, and it's not looking good for me. Cam and the kids hate picture taking so the first attempt of getting all of us in it was bust. I then thought well maybe I can get a good one of the kids together. I tried for three days to get them to cooperate. I'm sorry to say to fam and friends who will hopefully get a christmas card this year, they will be old pictures of the kids, because this obviously is not happening this year.

Decorating the Tree

Jake was feeling a little under the weather so he just watched from the sidelines.
Alex was a great help!
The finished product!
This was a random picture from Thanksgiving weekend. I was getting Jake dressed and his tie was sitting there on the floor from the day before and he refused to not have it on for half the day. I thought he did a pretty good job at accessorizing his wardrobe :).

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was special this year. My moms whole side of the family got together at my mom and dad's house. We started out the weekend with helping my mom and Grandma put up the Christmas tree, with the help of the kids. It was also my moms birthday while we were there, so we had a big party for her. The boys played football everyday and it was pretty funny watching the "older" boys think they were hot shots and then when the game was over come in the house limping like they were 90 years old. It was also quite hilarious to see them get up out of bed in the morning. Thanksgiving Day was a blast! Me and Cam started off the morning with a run so that we didn't feel quite as bad about eating all day, and we did the ENTIRE day!! We watched alot of movies and ate lot of pie and all in all it was a great Thanksgiving!

Had to happen sometime.....

I have been tagged. I knew it would come sometime and I would have to dig REAL deep and find some interesting things about me. Thanks Corina. 7 things about me?

1. When I was a little girl I would get Koolaid from the cupboard and dye my barbies hair different colors, then I would cut their hair into what ended up being a really scary purple, orange, blue or red bob. I hope after schooling I have gotten better :).

2. I sometimes wish I could go back to BYU and be really poor and newly married and enjoy some of those careless, good times we had with friends at the hole in the wall Mexican restaraunts and coming up with really creative things to do.

3. I really enjoy running. I ran in trackmeets before I was in Junior High, but never ran in High School or anything. I don't know why, I guess soccer always came first. Now I have picked it up again thanks to what I think is hereditary craziness and love to run all the built-up worries and frustrations away.

4. To go along with number 3, I have always secretly wanted to run the Boston Marathon. Who knows what the future holds, but not anytime soon.

5. Once in high school me and a friend raced her car with another car around the newly surfaced high school track. I still get all hot in the face thinking about that. I was soooooo stupid when I was younger.

6. To those of you that don't already know, when I was about 8 or something I won the Rupert Rodeo Mutton Bustin riding contest. To those that don't know what that is, first of all COME ON! Mutton Bustin!!?? It's when you ride a sheep in the rodeo arena and try to stay on there for 90 seconds. Yeah, I totally killed my sisters and cousins! I still have the trophy and it still stands tall in our office room. Cam has wanted to get rid of it a couple of times but it's not going to happen, I'm still way to proud of it.

7. I want to one day go to Europe with Cameron, and have always wanted to get together with my mom, sisters, aunts, and cousins and go to New York City. Do all the fun shopping, sight seeing, the things that Katie and mom did but I didn't get invited to :).
