Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful christmas! Clara got a lot of new fun toys and lots of books to add to her library. We spent christmas eve with my mom and Blake, and then christmas day with my dad and joy and John's parents. I will be posting probably a lot of videos for my grandparents, but not a lot of pictures....but they are so cute! Clara had to look at every present and examine them carefully before moving on to the next one. We hope you all had a merry christmas, and we are looking forward to a happy new year!



This was on christmas eve eve. Clara saw this hat and just had to have it! She loves to wear it! (and it was on sale, yeah!)
I set this blanket out for Clara, but who gets on it? Dakota! Plus they are sharing Dakota's toy, gross!

I took this video today (12/27). It is Clara in her new PJ's and playing with her toy from her Great Aunt.

{I will post actual christmas videos once we get our camera from the Armstrong's.}

We escaped the snow!

Well, at least the one of the storms. We went down to St. George and Las Vegas with the Dickamore's and the Davis'. It wasn't really warm down south, but at least we didn't get snowed on. It was really weird to see snow in St. George though. Friday we hung around St. George and had a honeybaked ham dinner (see pics below...) We did a little shoppiung there. The next day we went down to Las Vegas. We shopped at the Premium Outlets, which by the way, if you haven't been there in awhile, they are awesome! We had dinner at the Paris buffet that night. Can you say "crablegs"? I can't believe how much John can eat of those things! Then on our way home on Sunday we of course had to stop at BW3's. If you like buffalo wings, then you need to go! We are glad to be home, but wish the snow would stop. I think we have enough for a white christmas now! Happy holidays!

Clara loves her toys!

Uncle Chris helping CJ to walk, she is soooooo close!

At the Mirage. Did you know they got rid of the tigers in the front of the Mirage? I was so disappointed!

Mom and Clara at BW3's -- what kind of face is that? Oh yeah, it's "Mom, my taste buds have expanded and I don't like bananas or gold fishes anymore."

Ready to come home

Music Class

We have been going to music class the last two weeks with Annabelle, Tyler and Lacey (and Regan and Jenny of course!). Clara loves music and loves to move. She gets right in the group with the big kids and bangs on the drum, steals noise makers from other kids and moms, and shakes her jingle bells! Happy Holidays!Clara and Annabelle Clara and Annabelle with the big kids around the drum Clara and Annabelle beating the drum At the end of the class, the kids get the chance to play on the musical instrument. Clara pushes her up in to the front.
Clara and Annabelle stay as long as they can with the musical instrument

Clara is a big helper!

She wanted to help mom roll all the socks.. What a great helper

Turkey Day

We had a great Turkey Day. Long, but fun! We got to get all of the girl cousins born this year all together for the first time. Here are some pics of the fun day! We also got family pictures and girl cousins pictures that I will post once we get them.
