So, it's bee a while since I've posted anything new. I know this. You can stop telling me :) Things have been a little busy around the Arledge household since Thanksgiving and I just didn't get around to blogging. Well, you asked for it, so here it is!! Settle in, this is going to take a while :) In fact, I am posting the pictures as a separate entry because there are so many! Enjoy!!
Christmas this year was wonderful! Claire really got into things. She especially love all of the Christmas lights she saw as we drove around. She squealed and squealed every time she saw some. She also began to recognize Santa. She would wave to him at the mall and any time she saw pictures of his likeness. She also started saying 'ho,ho,ho' if asked. It was very cute!! We were fortunate to have Bill and Debbie stay with us Christmas Eve and enjoy seeing Claire open her 'Santa' gifts. I think Santa's sleigh tipped over in our living room! We had to open gifts in shifts just to get them all in. She was very cute--she did not want the wrapping paper messed up and often tried to put it back on the gifts as it ripped. Needless to say, Lee and I did most of the unwrapping, and Claire did the playing. All in all, Christmas was perfect!!!
New Years was also a lot of fun. We enjoyed having our friends over to celebrate and ring in 2010. We know we are getting older as no one stayed til midnight!! Of course, Lee and I barely stayed awake anyway :) Claire tried her best to see the ball drop and then she dropped, too!
Our holidays were wonderful. There is nothing like this time of year, especially when you're able to experience it with a child. I loved every minute of it and am already counting down til next year. I know it will only get better!!
