Dad got help clearing out the driveway. 8 inches yesterday, another 6 already this morning. Turns out that rolling the snow off the driveway in a few areas made shovelling MUCH easier.

And here is Mr Christmas Snowman. Nice murse.

And here is a little scale on the project size.

Taaadaaaa! Merry Christmas everybody!

Claire waits very patiently for her present from Santa in the special chair.

Santa left loot!

Tea time or flying saucers!

The tree is ready for a visit from Santa!

Claire's stocking is being placed with care by the chimney...

Mom says that snacks for Santa and his reindeer need snacks to keep going on their really busy delivery night. Dad always thought they were bribes to leave the good stuff. Either way, Santa has cookies, pretzels, eggnog, and for his reindeer there were carrots and cauliflower.

Merry Christmas from our family to you!!

Love, Aaron, Megan & Claire

Claire loves bunnies, and gave this one a "boop" on the nose, as she calls it.

O Chirstmas Tree, o Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches..

OK- Every child has one screaming with Santa picture and here is Claire's! Despite all the positive talking and looking at pictures of Santa, Claire was obviously not interested in getting quite so close to him. Maybe next year...

All dressed up and ready to go see Santa

I think we found the perfect tree!!

We all went to Holidazzle on opening weekend to see all the pretty twinkle lights.

Best seat in the house.

Happy girl, all bundled up in hat and gloves.

Sense of wonder, check.

Mommy and Claire tested holiday baking skills on Gracie dog by making a fresh batch of doggie treats for her recently

Claire was a great helper in the kitchen!

and Gracie loved the treats too.
