Claire's update

Claire too loved Christmas. Christmas day she woke to a Woody doll in her stocking and Santa brought her match box cars with a track and loop. Grandpa Alley came from Arizona and Grandma Erlys and Virgil were here over Christmas. Claire and Alley made a gingerbread house with Grandpa Alley and we all got to see Tangled. Claire loved it so much that she saw it again with Rob. Claire loved playing with Megan and Breanna and Grandpa Charlie's and Grandma Helen's house over New Years. They stayed up late - since they stayed in the same room but didn't quite make it to midnight. We stayed in all weekend, due to the 3 day blizzard - but Alley and Claire didn't seem to mind.

Claire was spoiled also. She loved the cash register that Grandma Erlys got her. She also got 2 ponies, an Ariel princess barbie, barbie clothes, 2 floor puzzles, magnetic paper dolls, Lego kits, and little pony Ferris wheel (that Alley has taken over as her own).

Claire took the intro gymnastic class - so I decided to enroll Alley and Claire in a weekly gymnastic class that starts this Wednesday.

She was pretty excited to be included in one of Alley's play date recently to an indoor pool, where they brought their babies to play with.

Alley and Claire play more together on their own, without us, but also unfortunately fight now too.
