Clara did great her first time on skis this weekend. We tried to get her used to the skis in our yard, but she wanted to go straight to the big hill. So, we went next door to Pat's Peak. She was fearless and loved every minute.

Getting into the Holiday Spirit
As has been the tradition since before Clara was born, we celebrated the Season with our dearest friends last weekend. The girls decorated gingerbread houses and had their fill of candy.

We continued our festive weekend with a visit to Santa. Both Clara and Charlie were a little shy, but Clara didn't leave without telling Santa that she wanted a princess watch and some binoculars.
After visiting Santa, we cut down our Christmas tree. Clara and Charlie were there too, but wouldn't pose for the picture. Maybe by the end of next weekend, we'll have our tree decorated.
