Christmas 2009

We started Christmas Eve by making candy. Claire loves to help Mommy in the kitchen, so of course she got to help unwrap all of the chocolate. She even got to sneak in a couple of bites. :) Then we had lots of snow, about 8 inches, so we went out to play for the first time in snow. Claire was not sure what to think about it. She finally warmed up to the idea of playing in the snow and didn't want to come inside. We spent Christmas Eve with Grammy and Christmas Day with Cookie, Papa, Grandmother Brown and Grammy. Claire loved to open packages. She didn't mind who's package she opened, as long as she was able to tear the paper. :) Ali took Christmas pretty rough, she slept pretty much right through it. Claire and Ali must have been good girls this year because Santa brought Claire her favorite toy, a kitchen!

This may not be so bad.

The girls were not interested in taking pictures Christmas morning.
