Holidays 2011

So the month of Nov and Dec were busy and lots of fun as the holidays usually are.  Here are some highlights in pictures.
Claire got a nasty fever for 10days this is her on her 16mo birthday :(

Luckily we were all better to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner

Packers won again!

Claire really loves Buster

Not a big fan of Santa I had to sit in between them.

First snow fall of the winter.

Babies belong in microwaves in Claire's world.


Buster liked his stocking gift

So did Claire

Her gift opening was well documented.

One of her many faces

Really liked the broom and the tag off the fleece jacket she got for Christmas.

She is obsessed with feeding the dogs...it is one of her favorite things to do twice a day.

Grandma Lois finishing Claire's Packer blanket  that she loves and sleeps with at daycare now.

Uncle Jason helping Claire on a very windy day push the baby stroller he got her.

The start of our vacation.  A night out in Minneapolis with friends.

Then we headed up to Duluth the ice is starting to form.

We also went to the Aquarium

Checking out the lake shore in Two Harbors...very cold!
