Isaac being extremely silly.

Claire can't control herself.  She thinks her brother is soo funny.

The other side of the booth is a little more reserved.

Grandma and Claire...is it that cold inside Grandma???

Back at home, enjoying the ginger bread house...

Hmm, which one should I pick?

No, no, maybe this one....

OMG Claire, just pick one, it's my turn!

Yeah, this is a good one.

Alright its my turn.  This one looks good.

Waiting by the fireplace.

Fun with the singing toys.  This one sings frosty...Jacob let go!  You're going to break it!

This one walks and sings Let it Snow.

Claire's SK Christmas Concert

Before the concert!

I'm giving her a pep talk and asking her to face the crowd.  If you can remember, last year, when her class came on she turned right around and refused to look at the audience.  It was hilarious!

She promises she'll look out!

 There she is, front row on the right...

A close-up singing.
