Last Day of 2011

Claire help me put up the Christmas tree and she is such a big help!! She loves helping!!!
She got to wrap up all the "unbreakable" ornaments.

Gabell got "fixed" so she spent a couple days playing patient...CC loved her being inside!

She needed lots of hugs and kisses...and CC was there to give them to her!

Jesus' Spiderman Party & More

Christmas all around....call it the Holiday Arkansas Tour! Emme with CC & A...A doesnt get much love without CC close by...just a little jealous of sharing all the attention. But she is getting better!

See this face all the time...attitude, sassy! attitude!

Helping Iggy out with gifts

Sharing hugs with Momma!

Trying to teach CC the real meaning of Christmas, so Jesus has a birthday party. Claire got to pick the theme of the party...at first she told me Jesus wanted a Tangled party...then she decided since Jesus was a boy he needed to have Spiderman party because Tangled is for girls and Spiderman is for boys. So I purchased a couple of decorations and a cake for CC to decorate with Spiderman.

She loved singing Happy Birthday to Jesus!

Curious what kind of party Jesus will have next year!!!???

Of course, CC asked about why Santa Claus brings her presents since it is Jesus' birthday....Jesus loves us so much that He wants to share all His gifts with all everyone...Santa Claus just helps deliver them.

Claire even says she got this or that for Jesus' birthday!

This is another one of those sassy face I see often!

CC loves her cousin Macy....you think they look alike???

Great grand kid football game!!!! Love it!!!!!

This smile makes me shine!!!! I love that when I ask CC to smile she tilts her head to the side!

Just watching her love life...running...playing.....smiling...laughing...

Tight squeeze hug!!!....can feel it now! great feeling!

Claire I love learning about life by loving you!!! I should be the one teaching you......I love you baby girl!!!!!!

Cousinly Love

Claire loves Annabel...the second she walks in the door she pretty much attacks her. Wanting to hold her and carry her around like a baby doll! I wish I could document all the times she talks about her!!! All babies are compared to Annabel!....the picture above: CC is laying a kiss on Annabel...and then proceeds to try to pick her up out of the carseat. Luckily for Annabel she was strapped in!!!

Love the look on Annabel's face!

Just a couple of shots of the Cousins First Christmas together!!!

Love this picture...CC had been awake .3 seconds and had to get her hands on A!

This is what most of our time is Mimi's spent like....reading books to CC and A laying there listening!

The 3 month old and the 3 year old.....hmmm, wonder at what point A will be taller than CC!

A's "Help Me" face!!! LOL!!

Lovin on my two girls!!!

Mountain Home Christmas

One of my fav of sweet A!!! This expression!!!

2011 Wrap Up: Part 1

Wrapping up 2011. What a year it has been! A year of a lot of change, understanding and growing. We have all been affected on so many different levels just trying to adjust to the new chaos we call life. Looking into 2012 I hope we all find much happiness, lots of laughter, and life full of living!!! So here's to past who made us who we are, the present that is teaching us everyday to hope for the future that lies ahead!

Claire has been pretty busy the last couple of months. She loves Gabell...she loves dogs!!! Every time we see a dog she wants to pet it and know its name.

We met Kenzie at the park for a picnic. The girls always have such a big time together!!

This is what CC's room looks like 99% of the time...her way of playing is getting all her toys out!
