Christmas Highlights

We had a great time celebrating Claire's very first Christmas with our families. We spent a few nights with my family and then also spent some time with Justin's family. Packing and getting ready to be away was a little different this year... I can't believe how much stuff a little less-than-8-pound baby needs!

Claire in her Christmas dress




Check out this precious outfit.. sent by my dear friend, Sarah, from Chattanooga. Sarah is one of the most stylish girls I know so of course she picked out the most adorable outfit ever for Claire! :)





These were the fabulous gifts sent to us from Jason, Roxi, and Annikah - all the way from Tanzania! We really missed them at Christmas.. it definitely wasn't the same without them there. :( We did a Skype call on Christmas morning, though, and we watched each other open some gifts. It was fun having everyone together to talk and it was the next best thing to having them there in person.







Claire got to meet her new cousin, Ella, born just 3 weeks after Claire. It was so fun seeing them together and it makes me excited to watch them grow up together!

Garrison and I were looking at the pictures and as soon as he saw Claire's Christmas dress he said "ho, ho, ho!"

She is precious. It was so nice talking to you yesterday.
