Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!

This Christmas was a blast...we had about 4 Christmases (is that a word)....and by the 4th round of opening presents, Trevor was just as excited as he was in round one. He loved looking at Santa this year. The lap sitting didn't quite go as planned, but we bought the screaming picture anyway. And he even looked at an old man in the restaurant last night who had a gray beard and said "ho, ho, ho"....who knows maybe it was ol' Mr. Claus enjoying some clam chowder at Pismos? Children do seem to know these things, right? I think the favorite present of the season was his "coca" aka JEEP power wheels from my parents. Now, about the word "coca" we aren't sure where that came from other than the sound a motorcycle or truck makes. Everything with a motor is basically a "coca". So when the jeep came rolling down the hallway, he stood in awe and yelled "COCA"....pretty cute!

Trevor and his cousin Bella playing together on Christmas Eve. Kodak moment for sure!

The big reveal!

A little off-roading!

Finally getting the hang of the Jeep...he wouldn't lay off the gas pedal!

A New Do...

Trevor got his um-teeth hair cut this weekend. His curls are gone (for now) and he's sportin' a big boy stylin' new do...

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great! I got the week off to hang out with Trevor and we celebrated Thanksgiving day with both of our families. I contributed a ham (which turned out great, thank god...or Diane may not have let me come over) and $27.00 worth of buns. I say that because my best friend Sarah, thought it was hilarious that she bought "brown n' serve" buns at Walmart for .79 cents a pack and I had to get Eddies bakery buns for 27.00. (Props to Eddie's bakery buns...they are quite DELICIOUS and worth every penny. I suggest all of you "brown n' serves" branch out next year and order up some Eddies)Daddy, Trevor, Uncle Matt,and Great Grandpa Emil at my mom's house.

My totally cute family. (If you plan on getting a Christmas card from Diane, close your eyes on this one)
Grandma and Grandpa Harper and Trevor's 2 cutie pie cousins.

Lake Tahoe

Last weekend we went to Lake Tahoe and stayed with our friends in their cabin. On Saturday the big boys went to the Fresno State football game in Reno and the girls went shopping and to the park with the little boys. We had a great time. There was even a little bit of snow on the ground. Enough for the little boys to be amazed by :)

** The cutest snowy picts are going to be our Christmas card, I didn't want to post those...so you'll have to wait to get those in the mail :)

Trick or Treat

Halloween was so much fun with Trevor this year. He wasn't quite sure why he was going up to the door...but he held his bag on his arm the entire night. He followed his buddy Cash to every door. It was so much fun watching the little monkey! (by the end of the night he realized the banana in his pocket was fake :)

Trevor was so excited when Cash showed up before they went Trick or Treating.

Strolling through the neighborhood with his bag on his arm and snack cup in hand.

The monkey and the fireman. (Trevor was saying: "hat" in this picture.)

Little Pumpkin at the Patch

We went with Trevor's friend, Hudson(and his parents), to the pumpkin patch. It was so much fun. We went on a mini trac-rain (tractor/train) ride, picked out pumpkins, ate a picnic lunch, played on the playground and saw the farm animals.

Coolest Morning Walk EVER...

This morning Trevor and I went outside for a morning walk and discovered that there was a HOT AIR BALLOON frenzy in the sky. We watched 3 of them land in the field directly behind our house. And about 7 more were in the sky flying over the area we live in. He was sooo excited. It was really cool!

P.S- Sorry about the lack of bloggin'....mommy had to go back to work :) We've done lots of fun stuff...but no time to blog it!
