Merry Christmas!

 Christmas hasn't been too exciting for me in years. Maybe because I haven't been happy jolly like most people about it. Last Christmas was a blur because I had just had Wade. I did get engaged so that was very exciting. This year I didn't put any Christmas decor up, maybe because I felt like I didn't have any time or room for any more stuff in my house.(our house is full of toys Wade got from his bday) Christmas Eve and Christmas Day I finally got in the spirit. Just being together with family, and watching all the kids play with their new toys put some joy in my heart. Nick and I strive to do better next year put a tree up, and take Wade to go see Santa! I am going to save money and buy gifts way before Christmas day! (Hopefully) Nick and I got everything we wanted this year my mom got me a Kindle fire (I really didn't think she would get it but she came through she says it's also my Valentine, mother's day and Birthday gift haha) Nick got a black powder gun and camo bids and camo coat! We are all set for 2012!

I am very thankful we have so many friends and family members! So many people don't have any one to share this special time of year. I am grateful to be a Harper and to have a sweet little family!

This weekend we are celebrating Nick's 30th birthday!

Happy 1st Birthday!

December 11th 2010 my baby boy Delbert Wade Harper was born @ 1:33 am after 19 hours of labor. I never imagined how much love I would have for this life Nick and I created. Having a newborn is not easy between my pain with my c-section, no sleep, and breastfeeding it was a challenage. I am proud of myself for going through that process. Wade is such a happy healthy baby we are very blessed for that. Watching him grow this year has been such a heartwarming experience. I love all the little things he learns. Nick taught him to growl so when Wade seees a bear, lion, or his daddy he starts growling. He loves shoes he wants his shoes on all the time or he'll try to put other peoples shoes on. He uses a fork and spoon pretty good. He is a pretty amazing kid, but I'm sure every parent thinks their child is great. :)

Sunday we invited our friends and family to Wade's 1st birthday party. Wade got so many gifts he is already a spoiled little man. He has a 4wheeler, a cozy coupe, more tractors, learning toys, books, clothes, and a flask from his bartender Uncle Jeff! I told Wade he is such a lucky boy to have so many loving aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins. Family and friends are such an important part of life. I have been blessd with a large family I don't know how many aunts, uncles, or cousins I have.

Here is to a new year 2012..that is hard to say! Nick will turn 30...I will be 29! Who knows what will happen? Thank you to everyone that made Wade's 1st birthday special it means a lot to us!
