Claire's First Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas break in Moses Lake with our families. Here is a picture rundown of how we faired.

Claire was really good on her first plane ride. Luckily, there was a cute little girl in front of us for one part of the ride that entertained Claire. 

We had to document our first family-of-three plane ride.

We took a trip to see the lights in Leavenworth. Brent carried Claire like this the whole time and she was nice and toasty and having a great time.

Momma and Claire after Christmas Sunday

Grandma and Grandpa Jackson got Claire this Christmas dress and we took some pictures after church. She looks like she had seen Santa, but we were just holding up Pete the Cat for her to look at.

At the annual Hirz family Christmas Eve celebration, Bampa dressed up like Santa for the babies, Claire and Rachel. Claire was not a fan of the strange man with a big white beard.

Christmas morning, Claire wasn't too sure about the whole present thing. 

She did like her new sippy cup! 

Mom and Dad got Claire this doll that our friend made. 

She kind of warmed up to the present idea.

Christmas breakfast and Grandma Jammie and Grandpa PB's house. Claire had lots of fun playing with Jammie.

Chris and Chelsea got engaged on Christmas Eve!! Claire wanted to steal Chelsea's pretty ring.

Chris tried to teach Claire how to eat a cinnamon roll the right way - just dive right in.

We tried to play in the snow at Christmas time but Claire couldn't really move in her snowsuit.

Brent on our anniversary date. We went skating!

It wasn't quite as romantic as I had hoped. This was one of the few moments I wasn't clutching to the wall.

We had a wonderful time! We are grateful that we got to fly to Washington to spend some time with our families. This Christmas goes down in the books as a success.
