Harlee's 2!!!

We had a pretty small get together this year for Harlee. Just family... well and Michelle and Cassie's Boyfriend Nolan. Harlee had a blast and was very spoiled. And when i say spoiled I mean the family spoiled her a little and Michelle went NUTS!!! She was inspired by this cute book called "Fancy Nancy". For those of you have never heard of her she is this adorable little girl with crazy curly hair who loves everything to be fancy. So Michelle got her... sunglasses, a purse, car keys, a cell phone, rings, bracelets, cloths, tiara, boa, necklaces... I know I'm missing something but it was insane, and Wonderful. What more could a Mommy ask for than a best friend who loves her daughter like that. Thanks AGAIN lady! Um... I'm not saying Harlee didn't like everything though... well accept the cloths. LOL As soon as she would open the gifts enough to see that they were cloths they were immediately set aside. She also got a pop up tent, candy, A cute Dora hat, a puzzle, a great color/shape thing from uncle Jake, and I don't think that is all but I can't remember the rest. Wow. I hope it doesn't go to her head. LOL I did forget the ice cream. Ha ha. Anyway, it really was a good day and I loved our family and friends with us. My little girls is growning up... FAST!

Christmas 2009

Here are some pictures from Christmas. It was really great this year! A little different with Tavia gone but we got to talk to her so that was exciting. Harlee loves her Cozy Coupe and she really loved her baby doll from Grandma and Grandpa Collier. Jerry said he had to turn on his 2 year old self, and I have to say it worked. I just love Christmas time!!

Beulah Croft

On a more solemn note, On November 24th 2009 My Great Grandma Croft passed away. Just two months shy of her 90th birthday. There is so so much that I would love to say about her but don't know how really. She was such a beautiful, wonderful woman! She was so strong up until the very end. I was fortunate enough to spend some time in her home with her before she passed and say goodbye. One thing about My Grandma was that she always gave us kisses right on the lips. There was no getting out of it. She would take your head in both hands and lay a nice big one on ya. As many times as I tried to get out of it I was always glad I didn't, it meant she loved me. The last time I saw her I wasn't feeling very well. I went in to say goodbye and she wanted me to give her a kiss. I told her I didn't want to get her sick. She said "There is nothing you can give me now." But I told her I didn't want her to be uncomfortable or sick. She then told me to be a good wife and mother. Then as I held her hand and told her goodbye, she said "Right here, give me one right here." And tapped her cheek. So I bent down and have her a kiss on her soft cheek. It was a beautiful last memory for me. She passed just a few days later. A beautiful women indeed, even after death, and I will miss her for a long time. I am so thankful for the wonderful legacy she has given me and hope I will be able to make her proud in my life.

In Novermber I got a 120 Pro Pallet. I heard of it first from this great girl from Youtube who does makeup tutorials, Lauren Luke. I just love her videos! So I thought I would get one and have been having a blast with it ever since. I also got Jamie Lynn one for her Birthday and we have a good time sending pictures back and forth of our new fun ideas. To state the obvious I LOVE makeup. :)

October

October was a fun month! For Halloween, Harlee was first an oriental princess. And then a giraffe. We enjoyed hanging out at the Talbot's for their Halloween party and trick or treating with Harlee in Logan, although she was not really getting it. Also, it was the month for birthdays. Went with mom and Cassie to Tepenyake(sp) and it was very fun. Saw an onion volcano just like on the food network. Ha ha!
That was about it for October I think.
