Christmas 2009!!!!

What would Christmas be without Santa Claus This is one of our good family friends Eric Bell he makes one good Santa Claus.

Clairee loves it outside we got her a nice snow suit and she loves it.

Uncle Sam got her a sled that she cant get enough of it plus it gives us (Parents) a good workout.

Smile love bug.

On Christmas morning Gus dog had puppies there are 5 and they are so cute.

Clairee really likes them too.

This is the first time she was able to hold one.

She didn't want to put it down even though she never actually held it.

Well we all had a great Christmas but Clairee really had fun and got some cool toys these are animal magnets.

She loved to show them off to Grandpa.

She even opened all her presents by herself no to little help by us.

One of her favorite toys was a baby doll that if you take out its Binky it would cry.

Her she is telling everyone Shhhh. her baby is crying.

She got a cute knitted hat that she really liked and is so cute on her Mardy's Aunt Nova gave it to her.

I think one reason she liked so much is because her baby had a similar hat.

She really loves her baby she is so good with it.

But her favorite toy was an indoor slide she opened it last and played on it over and over and over again.

And down she comes.

She also got an Aqua Doodle and know she can draw on that without ruining anything.

Santa came early <:)}

Sam was helping decorating our house and got to our large stockings and decided to make Clairee a stocking stuffer at first she wasn't to sure about it.

But after a little bit she began to like it I think she she makes a good stuffer.

And of course she is so darn cute.

Thanksgiving 2009

This year all the sibling that could went to mom's down in Salt Lake it was a lot of fun. Two of my sister who currently have had their babies where down there and it was so precious to see how Clairee reacted to them. In this picture Clairee is being a wonderful big cousin to my sister baby Sophie. Mardy and I were wondering how Clairee would react when we have another and NO MARDY ISN'T PREGNANT!

Clairee found a arm cover for one of the chairs where we were eating and made it into a hat what a cute pilgrim.

A better close up.

Here is Clairee again giving Sophie a kiss just like she does with her doll.

And of course what kind of a big cousin would she be if she didn't read her a story.

And give her a pat on the back.

And lots of loves.

And here is my other sisters baby Thomas he is a big boy close to 3 months old and in a size 3 diaper.

But he is so cute too.

Shhhh!

Clairee tells the dog Shhh when they bark it is really cute.

Hand full of popcorn.

Clairee thought that Jaimee was malnourished and needed to be hand fed.

I guess she does have a motherly nature already about her.

But maybe she has it a little too much.

And to make sure she doesn't spite it out she puts her whole hand in.

Observe the proper technique.

And now Sam needs some food.

Once again the whole hand method.

Now look there is still plenty of pop corn left so eat up.

Yummy whip cream

Clairee was allowed to eat some whip cream after Mardy made some no bake cheeses cakes what a cute mess.

Even though like I said that she made a mess she is so cute you really can't get mad at her.

I still can't see how she can get that big spoon in her mouth.

But I suppose when someone wants something bad enough they will get it.

The finished product without any damage by Clairee.

Happy Halloween!!!!

Clairee and Uncle Gus love to howl like wolves.
Even as a fairy she loves to howl.

Clairee was a beautiful fairy for Halloween.

Her friend Damien was Batman they look so cute.

Clairee was a darn cute Fairy and Mardy told her that she could only ask for 1 piece of candy.

Below Clairee learned the sign for treat and displays it proudly.

Clairee had a lot of fun trick or treating even though she only went to a couple of homes.
