Christmas in Delaware!!

Christmas this year was a little different for us without ALL our family around to spend it with. But we made the most of it and really had a WONDERFUL Christmas. Of course, on Christmas Eve the kids both opened up a present containing a new pair of jammies. Jane was in Princess bliss the second she opened hers and has worn them ever since. Beckham just looks so cute in his Woody jammies!!

We had our own little Shepherd's dinner...a Harper family tradition that I truly cherish :) It was alot of fun.

Jane shared hers with Ariel...
Here's one of the kids just jumping around being crazy!! Jane was so excited. She kept saying "We are having a really fun night!"
Of course we read from the scriptures of the birth of Christ and read a few sweet nativity Children's books the best we could amidst some very riled up kids :) And Jane put out her cookies for Santa...
Here's Ryan reading, "Twas the Night before Christmas" to the kids before bed.
On Sunday morning, Christmas, we let the kids open their stocking before church. They both loved these umbrellas they got from Santa.


I got ready for church at the crack of dawn so I could just worry about getting our kids fed and ready for 9am church.
After a crazy day at a lovely Christmas church meeting with way too excited kids, we were able to start the festivities...
Beckham's big present from Santa was this darling retro red kitchen. The kids have loved it!!
Jane got lots of Disney stuff, naturally and was happy as pie:)
Her bog present from Santa was this Disney Princess Barbie castle...so cute:)
My sweet mom made pillow cases for everyone and Jane loved her Disney princess themed one...
Ryan's favorite toy from Santa this year was a remote control helicopter...I am happy to report that it is still functioning and in one piece:)
Beckham with some Woody Accessories that he wore for .3 seconds...

Though we missed seeing grandparents and family desperately this Christmas, we were very blessed and had a very merry Christmas :) We were able to talk to almost all our family members on the phone which was the icing on the cake of this wonderful day :) We miss you and love you all. Thank you so much for the sweet, thoughtful gifts and for just being the best family ever!!
