The Harris Girls

It seems as if both our girls have changed yet again...






Perri Lynn Sloan

We finally got to meet Perri Lynn Sloan who belongs to our good friends Jenny and Josh. Perri is absolutely adorable! Looks just like her beautiful mama!

Brooke making sure Jenny is taking care of Perri right! (Take note of Brooke's attire, that is her usual get-up these days.)

Isn't she a cutie!


Ogolin's Visit

We had a visit from the Ogolin's this week and the girls got to see their cousin Tori who is getting so big - 10 years old in fact! She is a very cute girl and very smart!


It was very hard to get a picture without distracting Brooke...oh can you so tell she is going to be 2

Brooke, Making sure she looks good in the picture.

New Bed

Brooke has hit that milestone of out-growing her crib and needing a big girl bed. So...since the girls will evenually both need full beds, we got a full for Olivia and gave Brooke the twin for now-that way we don't have 2 twins and then need to buy 2 fulls....

The new bed has been a hit for Brooke, but it has provided her even more freedoms. She spends more time getting out of bed than she does staying in bed. Oh the joys of growing up. I just can't believe she will be 2 in February. Where has the time gone? I of course cried when Tanner took the crib down!

"Sleeping"

Sledding

We finally had a day where it wasn't below zero and there was some snow to go sledding. I finally found a sled for Olivia too...all I wanted was a good ol' fashion plastic sled with a lip around the edge. You know how difficult it was to find one like that? Finally, I got one at Wal-Mart and there was only 3 left. Obviously, everyone else was looking for the same thing. The icing on the cake was it was even purple - Olivia's favorite color.

All ready to go!

Wipe out! Maybe it was Mom's 4-Wheeler Driving...

Brooke enjoying her own ride...but Mom pulling it is not as fast as the 4-Wheeler!

Grandma Vennes Turns 80

My grandmother (my dad's mom) turned 80 on December 28th and we had a family get together for her in Wilsall. All her kids were there and many grandchildren and a few great-grandchildren.
