Christmas Week

We started our Christmas week by celebrating my friend's 30th birthday by going on a wagon ride to see the Christmas lights at Thanksgiving Point.  She was visiting from out of town, so I don't get to see her that often anymore.  We were so excited to be able to spend her birthday with her.  Since we ended up going on the wagon ride so late at night, Clara was the only kid in the group.  So she got to wear antlers and roast marshmallows, thanks to a wonderful staff who felt bad Clara had to wait so long.

After the wagon ride was over, we went to go look around.  We found some really cool ice sculptures and some of Santa's reindeer!

Christmas Eve we got to spend at Jeremy's parents and all of his siblings (and their families) were able to be there!  Clara got to help with the program.

We all got matching shirts (the one Clara is wearing,) and grandpa got a cool gift that had a cut up water noodle around it to protect it.  The kids had fun playing with all those pieces!

We also had a cousin gift exchange that night and Clara LOVES her princess dress up doll and tent.

And of course, then there was Christmas morning:

Clara got an apron for Christmas along with the stuff to make cupcakes.  Clara had so much fun getting to make those.  She kept asking and asking when she could make them, that I let her as soon as I knew we would have enough time.  She even did the eggs all by herself and didn't get a single shell in the batter!
