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!

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

Claire and Dad made a super tall tower

Claire later agreed to give most of her candy to somebody who will give it to at-risk children. What a thoughtful girl!
