Snow in the Ham

An unexpected surprise a few weeks ago was a pretty good snow for Alabama one morning around 9 am. It was great to show the kids something they have never seen before. We did not stay out long as Jackson realized that snow is very COLD and wet! I think Harper was more excited about her Krispy Kreme than the snow. Just like her mom.

New Years at the Beach

We loved getting away after Christmas for a much needed break. Jackson loved playing on the beach and did not want to leave. Harper one the other hand did not like the sand at all. THey both thought the sparklers were fantastic and wanted to stay up all night. They probably would have made it up for the New Year better than me or Dan.

Hold me close . . .

a tiny dancer. Enough said.

Christmas at Church

Harper looked so pretty in her Christmas dress that mommy had to get a picture with her! Jackson was all consummed with the nativity that some sweet ladies in our church made for the chapel. He really wanted to play with it and did not understand why baby Jesus was breakable. My only response was that ours wasn't but some peoples are.

Reindeer food and Christmas PJ's

Thanks to sweet Kate , Joe and Jim Jackson and Harper got to leave Reindeer food out Christmas Eve. We had fun seeing how much the reindeers eat. Santas not the only one that needs food. The Christmas Pj picture is one of my favorites. I loved getting matching pajamas growing up and so we have continued the tradition.

Christmas 07

We had more fun at Moo Moo's house with all of our cousins. We missed sweet Allison who was at home sick. Can you believe how big our family is now? One more one the way and Moo Moo will have 9 grandkids! The next two pictures are from our annual Erickson Family Christmas. Harper loved her barbie purse and so did cousin Beth - "hands off" Harper says. She is smiling but really she is pissed that Beth wont leave her stuff alone!
