Here is Olivia's big sister, Vivian, meeting her for the first time.
Love this picture of Brian and Vivian!
Claire helped to decorate the tree...
And so did Ben!
Check out the finished product!
A couple of silly elves!
Check out Claire's first snowman (yes, the "M" is for Minnesota...like Goldy Gopher has on his chest).
It's time to make some cookies!
Works of art!
We got hammered with a snow storm this weekend, so we took the opportunity to introduce Claire to sledding! She LOVED it and cried when we took her home to get warm.
On your mark, get set, GO!!
We took Claire to get her first haircut....she was not amused!
I took this picture of Claire just a couple of weeks ago...she snuck into the pantry and was helping herself to some snacks. Check out the picture of Ben below, which was taken a couple of years ago. Coincidental....even down to what clothes they are wearing!
We wish you all a wonderful holiday and a safe and happy new year!
Love, Christa, Dave, Ben and Claire
Oh, did I mention that she's walking now? I'll try to post a video clip of her walking, but you can see you walking in this picture.
The following Sunday, Claire was baptized...another blessed occassion.
Uncle Steve and Aunt Teri-Claire's Godparents
Pastor Jan, who did the honors.
We were so thrilled that Grandma and Grandpa Hart could make the trip to Minneapolis to be a part of these two very special occassions.
