The weekend

We've had another busy but fun weekend!  A new friend that I met at bunco invited Harper and me to the zoo with her and her two boys (and another mom from bunco and her two boys) on Friday.  Harper fell asleep and slept half the time we were there, but I really enjoyed the zoo.  It was nice to get out of the house and chat with a couple other moms.  Not to mention I got in free since Allison has a membership and I got to see the giraffes!  

my little cutie :)

The giraffes!!


Jason, Harper, and I went to Laura's annual Thanksgiving dinner party on Friday night.  Laura cooks the turkey and everyone else brings a side, appetizer, dessert, etc.  There is always yummy food and we always have a good time.  Well... I take that back.  Harper wasn't having a good time for awhile.  She started s c r e a m i n g (very rare) and we had a hard time getting her to calm down.  I think she was overstimulated with all of the talking (it was pretty loud) and being passed around.  After a "snack" she was finally able to calm down and then fall asleep in my arms.  


Jason put up the tree on Saturday and I decorated the house for Christmas.  Haley came down that evening for our traditional hanging of the ornaments.  I think this was the 5th year that she's come down to help.  Gotta love our traditions :)  

 Harper was saying "feed me and put me to bed!!"

There are more fun things to come in the next few weeks.  Stay tuned!

Oh- and if you are a mom of a little one, would you please let me know the best toys for a 6-12 month old?  I need to know what to get Harper (and what the grandparents need to get Harper) for Christmas. You can leave a comment or email me.  Thanks!
