Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas 2008 was a wonderful time for the Harpers. We are very fortunate to have great family and friends to share this lovely time of year together! Hope you all had an equally fabulous time, and we wish you a happy new year!
Scout turned the box that she received from Grandma and Grandpa R. into a lovely getaway (with the help of dad). Here is Scout with keys to her "house."
Here's our rocking cookie decorating party with our friends Jessica and Nyah.
Sled ride with dad at the helm.
Favorite pony-rider, Auntie Lacey.
What more holiday spirit can you ask for? Penny Lane, in full outfit.
Great-grandma Marlene and baby Addy.
And Addison with her mommy.
Ella and the cash register that started a fierce response from Scout. Here's us trying to distract her with another gift. Clearly not working.


The shopping cart seemed to soothe the savage beast a little better.
Then there was a guitar. Scout and Ella learned to work together by forming a jam band. (Video doesn't do it justice.)

The girls in a full-out photo shoot, this is only one of many. Notice Ella with her blanket, and Scout with a bowl of chex mix sitting in front of her. Divas, all of them! Except Addy, she's just plain sweet!
Here with Auntie Lexie.
Here with her big bowl of Chex Mix and a big grin. (Red kitchen in the background is what Santa brought her.)
With Aunt Lacey, who takes pretty good care of her.
With her other favorite pony-rider, Grandpa Alan.
Trying her hand at backgammon.

And I leave you with one last video, of our girl finding her inner rocker.
