Projects + Santa

--Projects--
I had this idea before Claire was born, for a crib skirt + embellishments attached with velcro, so that you could use easily replace the embellishments for a boy. And I just got around to starting and finishing this project, soon after my parents left and we were all feeling healthy! I used cookie cutters as a pattern for the shapes. :) On the right is the dresser we re-stained (in the summer) so it would match the crib.


Happy birthday Mom! I got this ornament idea here.

My grandma made me a similar stocking that I used as a model to make Claire's.

--Santa-

Santa came to visit us! Front door service, it was great!

Jason, Amy, and Amy's fiance, Nate dressed up as Santa Claus and went skiing for free at The Canyons. They have this promotion every year in December. (Jason takes full credit for his Santa outfit :)) You can also see them here... they are the first three faces on the video.

And why blog without more pics of Claire...

Claire is afraid of the vacuum, so I put her on the couch. Well I wasn't thinking, because I put her little horse on the couch too. She climbed over her tub of books and amazing got safely on her horse.

Parents Visit- Thanksgiving

This one is for my parents... We are so glad that they came to visit us! Claire loved the attention. Which was great as she was recently weaned off nursing, and needed the extra lovin'. Claire loved playing with my mom's dog Olson.

And enjoyed following him around... great entertainment for her.
