Christmas

Claire was a pretty big fan of Christmas this year- the lights, the decorations, Santa, the music, the Elmo Christmas DVD we watched approximately 50 times (and counting). She especially loved opening (and helping everyone else to open) presents, and playing with her new kitchen (where, for some reason, when asked, is always making 'um, eggs, sausage and cheese'. Apparently she's an omelet chef).

December fun

A little get-together with Adam and Ally before they headed back to Cochrane, and my attempts at a Christmas photo shoot....not a lot of cooperation going on with this gal, but managed to get a couple of cute shots nonetheless.

Catching up

Odds and ends from the last couple of weeks....another visit with bff Ally and her brother Adam while they're out from Alberta; helping Auntie June open her gift on her 80th birthday, and taking in a little seasonal celebration at the Oak Bay Christmas light-up.

thanks

For everyone who made Claire's second year as special as her first....thank you:)

Birthday girls

The birthday festivities continued with a combined birthday party for Claire and her bff Ally, in addition to a little reunion of our old baby group gals. Claire fell in love in Marley's new baby sister Tabitha and was ever so sweet with her. Buddies Daphne and Tessa made it over as well, and all in all it was a good time, if not a wee bit chaotic!
