Merry Christmas!

This year, our Christmas was "Elmo" themed. Here Claire models her too small Elmo jammies.
Oh Christmas tree...
Christmas morning, we tried to get Claire interested in opening the presents. She had more interest in pulling ornaments off the tree. We had to give her some help, but she got into it once she noticed there were things under the wrapping paper.
Here Claire discovers her favorite new toy. We'll have to make a video soon of her playing with it. Elmo TMX is pretty funny the first few laughing fits. He doubles over laughing then picks himself right back up and eggs you on to tickle him again. We all had a good laugh... the first few times... Unfortunately no volume control. But Claire loves him. She was so exicted we couldn't get her to take a nap. She finally fell asleep in her high chair at lunch.

Here she is after a nap. We ended up having a nice dinner with a family that we know from church. The rest of the day was spent playing with Daddy's (Xbox games) and Claire's new toys. Merry Christmas everyone! We miss you and hope you all had a nice day too and have a happy new year.

Christmas Time

Here we are showing off our bellies. This is minutes before I went Christmas caroling and sprained my ankle.
Here is another belly shot... Claire loves pretending to be a movie star. This is also where I hung out for a few days with my foot up due to the sprain.
Here Claire is lounging in her high chair with a dum dum pop.
This is one of the reasons for the belly :) Dad has introduced Claire to sour cream and onion chips.

Here is Claire in her Christmas dress just before church.

o.k. so I was tagged by Kendra


Here are 7 random/weird facts about myself:


1. I sprained my ankle on Tuesday night - just four weeks after my sister, Kristin, who is also pregnant - four weeks more pregnant than I... weird

2. I love Reese's Puffs cereal. I bought a box the other day and it's gone already. I guess between the sprained ankle and the Reeese's Puffs, I will probably end up over 200 lbs again by the time this baby is born!

3. I can't stand the T.V. show House. I like Hugh Laurie, but I would rather hear his true Brit accent. I can't stand the long drawn out diagnostic process for his patients every week.

4. I too have read the "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyer. I snickered and sneered almost the whole way through, but secretly enjoyed every minute of it.

5. At a baby shower a few months ago we played a game that involved passing a layered wrapped gift around the room. Each layer had directions to pass to the third person to your right, or the first person to your left with blue eyes... and so forth and each layer contained a cute little gift. I got it passed to me for being the oldest person in the room - then I got it again for being the newest bride. It was nice to receive the gifts, but I was so embarrassed.

6. I really have grown to dislike shopping. I used to really enjoy it, but now I loath having to go to the grocery store or to the mall especially. My look has suffered, but I don't care. I wish that things would just magically appear in the pantry or my closet. I ripped one of my favorite pairs of maternity pants when I fell Tuesday night and I am dreading having to replace them.

7. My husband is really a male model. I guess this one isn't really about me, but it's true nontheless. Does that make him my trophy husband since he's younger than I and a male model? He is a model for a series of paintings of the Savior done by an artist in our ward. It's also a good excuse for him to grow out his beard, which I like.
