An Early Christmas

The first weekend in December Jason's Mom and Aunt flew up so we could have a little Christmas together. This is Claire and I while we were waiting for their plane to land, she had lots of fun watching all the planes take off. Once we got them in the car we were off to Ruth's Diner, (Maria had seen the episode on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives and had to go)
Matthew even joined us so he could meet Maria and enjoy and yummy breakfast We then went to WalMart because Maria wanted to get Claire a kitchen for Christmas, so here's the kitchen in about a million pieces. Patti and I started to put it together while Maria and Jason just watched us and ate

Sunday Dec. 7th (Christmas Morning) Claire woke up to lots of presents under the tree.
She got a Dora doll
And a cute new vest from Gma Patti
Grandma and Claire showing off their new slippers!
Claire LOVED her kitchen, as you can see she is already multi-tasking. She can talk on the phone and make pasta at the same time.
Who knew you could buy real live little girls at WalMartThen it was time for Claire to leave I guess, she had her slippers on, jacket on, and a purse... "Bye Bye"
That after noon we had a delicious Christmas dinner. Jason's family every Christmas has a prime rib, so that's what we had too and a brisket (one of my favorites, and the smell of my house brought back good memories of my dad) Debra and the girls joined with us
{click on the picture and you can see the half a cow on Jason's plate} We did lots of Christmassy things while they were here, we saw the lights at Thanksgiving Point, and the Reindeer (Patti has those pictures as I left my camera in the car) and went and saw this amazing house in Lindon, where the lights dance to the music. Here's Claire and Gma enjoying the christmas lights
It's always sad to see them go, but we were so grateful that they were able to come up and spend a few days at our house for the holidays
THANK YOU!
