Its Christmas time again!

This year was our year to have everyone home, and everyone was able to come! We found out that Garret is deploying again in March/April and I should be leaving a little bit after that for my mission, who knows where Stuart and Lindy will be after school so we might not be together again for another four years, and it was our first Christmas without Dad so needless to say it was a special one for us.

Well our festivities started when the baby girl arrived! Mornings are now a little more... lively?
This little girl has more energy than any of us at that  
                                                                                    time that's for sure!

 

Mornings also require a little more accessorizing than I am used to. Clara picked up my necklace and asked Lindy to put it on her, then she brought it over and helped me wear it too.

Clara tried to help Grandma wrap a few more presents, which means she played with the ribbon of course. You gotta make sure your ribbons are
                                                                            organized just right,
                                                                         see Gma they belong
                                                                          on the floor like this!

                                                                         

Clara loves playing with daddy, she was not 

quite as sure about Uncle Garret's games. But she was 

a good sport and played along anyways!

                     She is such a little diva! But she sure is dang cute!
