Happy Birthday Harper!

   This last Thursday was Harper's second birthday.  On her actual birthday we just had a small family celebration.  Yesterday (Saturday) we met Karl, Aimee, and Tyler to go bowling for Harper's birthday.  All the kids had been bowling before, so we knew it was an activity they would enjoy.  We had a great time and the girls were very happy to see their cousin Tyler. Especially Avery who seemed puzzled that Tyler wasn't there on Thursday for Harper's actual birthday.

    Here are some fun Harper factoids:

• She likes to sing and is not shy about doing so in public. When we sing in church she often will direct the music as well.
• One of her favorite movies is Brave, and she asked to watch it on her birthday.
• Harper likes to pray. In fact most nights both Avery and Harper will say our family prayer at the same time. Praying has become very popular in our house quite suddenly.
• She also enjoys dancing.  
• She calls yogurt mogurt.
• She loves to read books.  

   That's our Harper and we love her.  She has got quite the personality, and it will be really interesting to see what she's like when she is even talking more. 

Some nice tiny store bought cakes.

Harper actually ate birthday cake this year unlike last year's disappointing show.

Oh my gosh! Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace!  Are we not the best parents ever?  The girls are still enjoying days later.

Avery and Tyler decided to hold hands on their own with no suggestions from anyone else.

Tyler was a very enthusiastic bowler.

Avery kept picking the heaviest balls she could find to bowl with.  She is hilarious.

Harper really wanted to eat some wings.  In fact when she was so busy eating she wouldn't bowl her sets.
