Clara has been making her own funny faces recently. I took these pictures last night, and when I showed them to Clara in the camera's playback mode, she laughed. Silly girl!

Snow Day
The forecasters predicted up to two feet of snow in yesterday's storm, so my boss told everyone to work from home. Easy enough if you don't have a toddler running around. We ended up with only about a foot of snow. Oh well, Clara and I had a fun day, and I actually managed to get a bit of work done. Clara painted and played with Play-Doh while I worked on my computer at the kitchen table. Check out that mischievous look in her eyes!

Happy Birthday to Us
Sunday was my birthday and Clara decided to try out her snowshoes. She gave a good effort, but it didn't last long. Maybe next year.
First attempt:
Second (and final) attempt:
Earlier in the week, Clara came home singing "Happy Birthday," or at least "Happy to you," which is her version of the song. What perfect timing.
On Wednesday, we enjoyed a nice dinner out for Jared's birthday. Clara liked to watch the fish swim in the tank at the restaurant. Another year gone!

Snow, finally!
It has been a dry, boring winter in the Northeast so far. We missed the Christmas week blizzard (and thaw) while we were visiting family in Michigan, so we were excited to see snow in the forecast. Yesterday, we got about 20 inches of snow in just over 12 hours. I had to work at least part of the day, so Clara spent some one-on-one time with her teachers at daycare.
Jared had the driveway all cleared out by the time we got home and was working on a path to the wood pile. His famous last words, "Do you think I can just bust through there to pull out the trailer?" I thought, "Of course, the snowblower should make it through there, give it a shot." What Jared meant was...
I should have known! The good ole Trailblazer pulled him out and the snowblower finished the job.

Christmas - Take 3
We traveled to Gaylord on Christmas afternoon to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Carlson. Jared and I went ice fishing with my dad, while my mom spent some time with Clara. We managed to catch a few pike using the smelt Dad caught this summer. If you can make out this photo, you'll see two smelt bait and a pike striking from the right. It was a lot of fun to watch.
We opened more presents when the rest of the family arrived. Clara and her cousin Ella had fun with all their new toys. Owen just sat back and took notes.
Clara loves her cousins!
