Christmas adventures

We've been in Arizona for a whole week now.  We are having a great time! I wanted to post a blog real quick and get some new pics out there for Grandma Layton :)  Hopefully I'll have time to get all of them together eventually. 

Harmony did great on her first flight out here.  We were on the plane an hour longer than we origionaly should have been (4 hours), but she hung in there and even managed to be smiley and cute! She earned her wings from the pilot too.  

Harmony has met so many new people this week. It's so cute when she sees my nieces and my nephew.  Sometimes she makes the funniest faces! Her eyes get big and wide, and she mostly just stares around the room.  She's been doing wonderful with all the new people and new surroundings.   

Sawyer is absolutely adorable around Harmony.  He likes to point to her and say BABY, and loves to give her kisses.  My nieces are the cutest, and they love to hold Harmony! Especially Taylor, who would hold her non-stop if we didn't pry Harmony out of her arms :)  I'll post videos of them with her if I am able to. 

Ben's sister Becky and her husband Jared were able to stop by my brother Tracey's house last night.  We didn't get any pictures of them though...what the heck?! So we'll definitely have to meet up with them again!

Here is Harmony in her new Sunday dress 

Grandma Layton made for her.  

My camera is not the best, to say the least.  

So, the pics are the best we could get!

Christmas is on it's way! We got into the holiday spirit and put up our Christmas tree last week. We even found the perfect star!

We took a couple more family pictures last weekend, and some of them turned out. I have a bunch of family pics from over Thanksgiving weekend. I'm posting some of the larger Layton family. The only one I'm posting of our small Layton family is the one that turned out the best. Sort of. This was the only pic that our faces all looked decent..but the only pic that turned out blurry for some reason! Who knows. Maybe we're just not meant to have a great family pic. 

Harmony is enjoying a new toy a little early for Christmas. We got a good deal on an exersaucer from KSL.com. She's always straightening her legs and wanting things to do. I figured, she may as well have it now, since she is so eager to be standing all the time ( and my arms get tired of holding her up!) and it looks a little too difficult to wrap...or fit under the tree! 

We're looking forward to traveling to Arizona next week! I'm really excited to see my family, and have several of my and Ben's family memebers meet Harmony for the first time! Becky, I hope we can meet up with you down there, so give us a call!

Tonight is Ben's company's annual Christmas party in SLC. They give out pretty sweet gifts to the employee's. Supposedly Ben should get an even better one than last year's gift since he's moved up a tier (they put you in gift tiers depending on how long you've been there). So we'll see. He also made the company slide show, and short movie (with the help of his brothers!). So he's quite the man this year. Hopefully we'll have a good time, and it'll be worth leaving my sweet little lady for five hours! And also hopefully we won't get stuck driving home in a huge snow storm like we did last year!

This video was taken yesterday while Harmony was expressing her displeasure for the camera being there.  Notice the cute bow on her head. It was one of many adorable bows made by my cousin Elisa. If you want to get some you can check 'em out at her blog here.
