Good morning

Since Christmas

We went bowling as a family the day after Christmas. After watching the Reading Rainbow episode about bowling at least 10 times, Claire was really interested in it and had a good time thanks to the ramp, bumpers, and a 4 lb ball.

Claire and Greta went with their Daddy to the Elders Quorum post-Xmas party. Claire pigged out on pizza.

Tae Hyun brought build a bears for Greta and Claire on New Year's Eve

Claire felt a little lousy on New Years Day...

But soon was feeling great! She watched Frozen 3x and now declares it her favorite movie.

Daddy went skiing on New Year's Day. Claire wants to ski, too!

Christmas 2015

Santa filled her stocking!

Opening presents. Bless Dale's heart for putting this one together.

Loving the tent from Grandma. She refused to come out to open more presents.

In the tent with Shizuku

Shizuku got Claire an adorable and super soft Totoro blanket

Pretending that she enjoys sharing the bathtub

After Mom took a photo of Greta under the bed, Claire went under the bed for a photo too.

Admiring the Christmas pyramid

This is how I found Claire after naptime. She had carried the stool into our room so she could reach our advent calendar chocolate supply. I let her eat the piece of chocolate she had since it was so clever.

Catching up again - November photos

 The Saturday after Thanksgiving we went to Leavenworth. There was a free bounce house that was mostly empty. Claire had the time of her life!

Group shot at the Kris Kringle store. Greta was asleep and we didn't want to pull her out of the stroller!

 On our way to Leavenworth so Claire could briefly play in the snow for the first time ever. It was cold!

Thanksgiving dinner. She actually ate it this year!

At Aurora's Sesame Street birthday party. The other girl in the photo is not Aurora for the record.

This cupcake was a disaster. I was hyperventilating from stress watching Claire eat the frosting.

Yes, the dye came through in Claire's poop the next day.

Trick-or-treating in our neighborhood

Claire and Dad made a super tall tower
