Claire-bow!


This is Claire modeling my favorite of Audrey's hand-made bows, the Mini-Bling bow! Go to Audrey's online store, the Lady Jane Bowtique, to order super-cute, affordable bows in lots of styles! Great Christmas or baby shower gift!

Christmastime is here!




Hooray for a productive weekend at home! It's been a long time since I've had nothing to do on Saturday or Sunday, so this weekend was bliss!Well, I did have to prepare the meat for our visitors meal after church, but that's something I can do on my own schedule. I got down all my Christmas stuff, and put up our first ever full-size Christmas tree, an after-Christmas sale I bought last year! It was so easy to put up, a pre-lit 7.5-footer in three pieces, although my wrists and hands bear marks of my fluffing efforts. I still need to get a topper and a skirt, but I'm pretty proud of it for now! I bought a package of glittery snowflakes and icesicles for half-off at Hobby Lobby last week, and those covered a lot of tree!

As you can see from these pics, Claire has recently decided the camera is her friend. Whenever I turn it on in the last couple weeks, she grins so big! She's also getting really stable on her feet, and will even sidestep a little, moving from object to object, or along a couch.
