Look Who's TWO!!!!

Well another year has come and gone. Bryan and I can't believe we are parents to a two year old. That is just crazy. We are so excited each day to see what Claire will learn and say. Here is an example of something we taught her....and something we just told her to say. (She is staring up at a couple of Dora balloons she got for her birthday). We just love having Claire in our family. She is such a joy to have around.

Too Big Too Fast

Well another one of Claire's Christmas presents was a "big girl" bed. She loves it. She was so excited to get on the bed and try it out. She was grinning from ear to ear when she realized the little stool helped her get on her bed. I even decorated her room with some cross-stitches. I think they turned out good.

We are crossing our fingers that she will continue to stay in her bed as good as she currently is. She has only been sleeping in her bed for about four days now, but so far she is doing great. Here is our proof that Claire is sleeping in a "big girl" bed!

Christmas

We had a great Christmas. We hope everyone else did also. One of my favorite things to see at the Christmas season is all the presents under the tree of course with the lights on. This is our tree on Christmas morning. You can even see the Donald Duck doll that Santa left in the tree for Claire. She loves Donald Duck.

This kitchen and all of her cooking clothing is one of Claire's favorite things she got for Christmas. Thanks to both grandparents for getting the kitchen and all the supplies for it. When we took her down to see this kitchen she was wearing the apron Peggy made her (she loves it by the way- although she isn't wearing it in this picture). When Claire saw the kitchen she said:
"Thank you! I love it!"
