This past weekend was our annual Christmas in January in Albion. Everyone was able to make it for the weekend. Jim & Sonja, Scott & Marlene, Jacob & Carie, Ed & Sheena (with Tripp & Trinton), Brady, Miechelle (with Madison, Caleb & Abby) & of course Matt, Harper and myself. We got to Albion Saturday morning... it was nice b/c we were the first ones and could visit with Mom & Dad. In the afternoon EveryOne was there and boy was it loud.. The kids had a great time playing. Grandma had bought some of the balloons that you make animals out of and I spend a lot of time that afternoon blowing them up... They loved it! We had dinner and then it was time to open gifts... The kids got all sorts of things.. Grandma got each of of the girls a purse, costume jewelry and hats (old hats that she got at a sale) they loved them! The kids played and before we knew it, it was almost 11. So we headed back to the Dunes Hotel... Harper was very tired, with no nap and all that playing and running around. It took a while to get her relaxed - probably had the biggest melt down have ever had with her..... first she wanted the covers on, they off, then she wanted to be in this bed, then that bad.. Once she finally slowed down she was OUT for the night. We headed back to Mom and Dads in the morning and just hung out and visited and the kids played. We left in the mid/late afternoon. You could tell that Harper was tired and ready to go home. We stopped to grab something to drink on the way our of town and she pretty much fell asleep while she and Matt waited in the car. It was great to see everyone and we had a good time.
Saturday night Ed (Sheena's husband) finally made it to Albion after working all day. He walked in with his cowboy hat on... Harper walks up to him and asked him if he was a cowboy. When he answered Yes, she then asked him where his horse was. Ed just laughted and said he left his horse at home.
