Happy New Year





Christmas and New Year's has come and gone, now we are awaiting the arrival of our baby!! Everyone is getting excited. I have 5 weeks left until the arrival and we're hoping we don't have to wait that long. We have started to get out all the baby supplies. If we have a girl, we are set. If we have a boy, he might have to get used to the color pink for some things!! We have started to talk about the hospital and what's going to happen. Although we talk about the baby, I think it will be quite an eye opener for Claire. She is exicted and ready to help. She thinks she's going to change diapers and give the baby a bottle!

Claire has a great Christmas, filled with lots of family and presents! Some of her favorite items include a dollhouse, protable DVD player, and picnic table. She wasn't too into Santa, but she enjoyed leaving cookies and milk. Travis and I were more excited about Christmas morning than Claire. We, rather Mommy, made homemade Christmas cookies with frosting this year. Claire enjoyed playing in the flour and asking if we could make a mess! Daddy and Claire also enjoyed licking the beaters full of yummy frosting.

I've included a picture of Claire sledding for the first time with Daddy, Uncle Skyler and Lucy. She had a blast. We have a slope in the back yard that worked great. Mommy sat by the window and took pictures while Claire shout, "one more time" even before the ride was over!! Everyone enjoyed hot chocholate and cookies afterwards!

We'll keep you updated on the arrival of the baby!! Take care!
