Snow Day 2011

We take what we can get when it comes to snow in South Arkansas...oh! how I wish we would have gotten the 5-10 inches that many of our friends got a mere hour away but maybe next time. Miss Claire is probably more of a beach bunny then a snow bunny. She liked eating the ice and got cold quickly. She could not quite understand why there was not a snowman...try explaining that one to a two year old....and of course, the snow we got was not snowman material. I did, however, get some precious shots of our growing little lady!

"Momma, Am going to eat all this ice!!!"

Me and my girl!

Christmas in the Ozarks

Like I said before I was not good at taking pictures this Christmas so I borrowed these from Emily's blog. My dad and Kathi just finished building a beautiful home in the Ozarks with breathtaking views. Mountains, rivers, and even a train that runs along it....God sure did paint some pretty pictures in Arkansas!

The following pictures of Claire and Josh make me laugh out loud!! She was being so silly and got Uncle Josh to play along...I think she surprised him with a kiss!!

Christmas 2010

Christmas morning at Nene's and Pepaw's Santa spread!
Look what Santa brought...excuse the bedhead!

Waking up and smiling

I forgot her stocking so a bag had to work but she didn't mind...it's always the little things that get the attention first.

What a look! I love it!

I had to get Claire a "name bench". Me and my sisters had them when we were kids....it's one of those things I have yet to part with.

She loves to help me clean, so she got her very own Dyson!

John Deere is finally getting some attention....she wasn't so sure about it at first.

Barney had to ride too!

Time to take it for a real spin!

Funny story: Later on in the day Claire was driving and cousin Gavin was in the back, she was driving around and around in circles. Then we realized she had fallen asleep while driving!!! I guess Christmas just wiped her out! Gavin had to wake her up.

Christmas at Mimi's & Pop Pop's

More cleaning supplies....YaY!

Can you tell who gets all the attention??!!

Silly girl!

Sweet girl!

Claire loves giving very tight hugs these days...not sure if Mimi is breathing here!

I am kicking myself for not taking more pictures this Christmas...so unlike me!

A Day at the Zoo....

....well a few months ago, back this summer, when it was hot and sunny! Nothing like finding summer time pictures on your camera on a cold, snowy day! Claire loves the zoo and knows nearly all the animals...I know as soon as the sun comes back out and the days get longer and we can put our shorts back on, we will head back to the zoo!
