HalloThanksXmas.....

My goodness, it has again been WAY too long since my last post!!!  The holidays always seem to whiz by and this year was no exception!  The following are snapshots from the Fall months with the Lee family:).

Harper with her best buddies from school :)  Thank you, Ms. Crystal for this precious picture!

Halloween

Pumpkin Patch Fun!!!  Harper, and her best buddy, Emma, had so much fun picking out pumpkins and seeing all the baby animals! 

Oh yes.... each year, Pine Crest, the school I work, does a Halloween Carnival complete with a theme.  It was fun... Pete even got in on the action, creating Sponge Bob for the party- so fun!

Thank you, Anna, for the beautiful Fall pictures you took :)- love them!

Success: found the most precious penguin costume for my litte Penguinette )

Failure: She HATED every part of it..... 

....Harper went Trick or Treating as herself ;), but still had fun

I am looking forward to next year- hehe- when we hopefully can try again with cute dress-up-ness

Life with a Toddler: a whole lot of the pouty face and messes.... lots and lots of messes ;)

                 

Thank you Purdue Friends for the WONDERFUL visit!!!!!  Cannot BELIEVE it had been since our wedding since we had seen some of you- shame shame!!!  It meant SO much to us you making the looooong trip here- LOVE YOU GUYS!!

And of course.... our week wouldn't be complete without Face Timing with Uncle Aaron!!!  Harper LOVES him so much!!!!

Thanksgiving

I attempted it myself this year!!  Mixed O'Connell and Lee recipes together and it actually didn't turn out TOO crazy.  We had a wonderful visit with Tom & Darla.... thank you for spending the holiday with us!!

Nothing like Bubble Guppies on Papa's lap ;)

Christmas

Harper and her friend, Berkley, went to the square to check out the lights, reindeer, and see Santa!!!  Sounded like a fabulous idea..... but the wide-eyed expression on Harper's face was slightly different then I had pictured... maybe next year she'll feel like seeing Santa ;).

I hope the last few months of 2012 treated you well!!!  Thank you all for hanging by us during the whirlwind that has been life these past few months!!! 

We love you :).
