After a week of Thanks, Harry talks about only a few things constantly, those being Bobo, Coco, Mimi, Papa, football, and Elmo! Although football has been a big hit, Elmo has been introduced to Mr. Harry by his 3 girl cousins who are all obsessed with that little monster! I got on to Harry for messing with the Christmas tree yesterday and he said "Mimi?" Of course he thinks she will let him mess up the tree and when I say no, he went down the grandparent list! He called the Salvation Army guy ringing the bell Bobo, the guy looks nothing like Bobo and when I told him that he said "he bobo?" in other words "does he know BoBo?"! When he put on his cap he pointed and said "Papa?"! I replied "yes, Papa likes to wear hats too". When we were driving through the Sonic drive through a couple of days ago he yelled "Coco drink?"! This cousins are talked about constantly, Brooklyn was what he wanted for breakfast! This is a quick summary of our week, but here is the extended one!
On the Friday before Thanksgiving Harry spent the night with Brooklyn and then Brooklyn stayed with us! Chad and I had a great date with our friends Matt and Holly! The real fun started when Miss Brooklyn came to play! I will start off with how perfect she is! If she is tired she quietly sticks her thumb in her mouth and lays around! It is absolutely precious! She and Harry loved reading books, they play great together!
Before bedtime they were eating their bananas and kicking the wall, too funny!
She she not just plain precious????
Here they are watching ELMO!
This is a picture before church, Harry was in no mood to get his picture made, but Brooklyn was sweet to give him a kiss.
I begged for Brooklyn to stay another night but, unfortunately we had to give her back on Monday morning! We can't wait for her to come back! We packed our bags on Wednesday and left for my Grandmother Georgia's house! She seriously lives in a ghost town and we had to take pictures of Harry in his John Wayne attire. Emily took pictures, I think that is why we don't have any of her!
These were taken in "down town" Poughkeepsie, which is less than a block from Grandmother's house.
Harry was very generous with his love towards Grandmother, I could not be more proud!
I made our Thanksgiving dinner! Well, Grandmother bossed me around and I made the ham, mashed potatoes, rolls, and sweet potato casserole. Chad's favorite was the gravy, grandmother got up to make that! Olivia and Caroline played great with Harry! Harry and Olivia are the more active ones, they are so funny together! Here they are eating their meal!
Usually it is Bobo giving Harry junk to eat, this time we caught Coco sharing her ice cream!
Bobo played football with Harry and let me tell you, they were out there FOREVER! I don't know who was having more fun!
Harry got lessons on technique from both his uncle and granddad!
Uncle "Paw" had to join in on the football fun! Caroline went along for the ride but, Olivia was right there in the middle of it, she is not afraid to tackle!
I love this picture, notice Harry has the ball and he is off!
Looks like Daddy needs to stick to the court, he got knocked down quite a few times!
They had a good time climbing on the wood pile, Grandmother's house is full of adventures!
I don't think they are watching Elmo here, if I had to guess it would be football!
Harry tried to tackle mommy but, unlike daddy, she can take him! This picture is in front of the old firehouse, I am telling you this place is a ghost town!
I love this picture because it is a good picture of him and his new favorite accessory, he loves his ball cap! I think he gets it from Papa!
This is our goodbye picture, we were leaving Grandmother's house and off to El Dorado!
I am disappointed in the amount of pictures we have of El Dorado, there were great opportunities for pictures but, I just kept forgetting! Harry meets his new best friend, the loud singing dog from Mimi!
Harry plays with one of his other best friends, Papa! Papa is always up for playing with Harry, no matter how tired he is! I know Harry appreciates this because he is constantly teasing Papa!
The best story of the week was our little wrestler! Harry just started this pose that you see below when he is ready to wrestle.
Harry made this face and stance at Mimi, pointed at her, and then pointed to the floor! In other words "you, me, wrestle, now"! I have never laughed so hard! Mimi was a trooper and got right down there with him!
Harry ran to Papa if he was getting chased!
This is the end of our Thanksgiving post! We are so thankful for our family and how we got to spend time with our favorite people on the planet. I feel so blessed to be related to people I enjoy so much! We are also thankful for our friends and how good our God takes care of us, we are no deserving!
The next 4 weeks are going to be crazy with Christmas parties, church activities, showers, family trips, birthday parties(one being Harrys) and family get togethers! I can't wait, this is my favorite way to roll, with lots of things to roll in! I need to remember how thankful I am when I am tired and overwhelmed!
Chad's mom and dad took the Ware's to Branson for a few days before Christmas. It was beautiful. I have never been to Silver Dollar City or the Dixie Stampede so, Harry and I were both excited about our new experience! Silver Dollar City had a beautiful light display, parade, and a very cool lighting of the tree. We missed the shows because it was so cold! 
The show was absolutely wonderful! The babies could not take their eyes off the all the excitement! I thinke everyone enjoyed this trip! Thank you Mimi and Papa for a fantastic time! It was just the thing to get us in the spirit!
We decided that this year was too chaotic to have a big party for Harry so, we thought we would just limit it to family at mom and dad's house. Since Harry loves football we decided to sprinkle a little football into the party. He loved having guests to help him open is gifts!
PayPay came to play on Saturday and boy did we have a ball!
The "Birthday Elves" visited Harry this morning leaving behind a huge mess of glitter(Daddy was quick to clean it up)! They also left Harry some football pajamas; you can never have too many sets of football pjs! 
Harry also got a Plasma that the Birthday Elves got a very good deal on! It was supose to be from Santa but, the elves worked it out to give it to him early! HE LOVES IT!
Harry celebrated with his friends at school. They were very excited to eat cupcakes! I had planned on bring football cupcakes but, the bakery I ordered them was to far to drive to since the weather was so bad; Frosty had to do! Thank goodness for Wal-Mart's bakery!
We love every silly, wild, funny thing you do! Everyone needs a little Harry in their life!
