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.
