Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! We have had the most wonderful holiday filled with family and even a new Clapper who joined the world yesterday, Brianna Marie Clapper, Congrats to my cousin Jason and his wife Steph! We have been blessed to have Great-Grandma Levonne with us for the holidays. It has been a tough year for us in losing my aunt Sandi and my grandpa Bob. The holidays are always hard with loved ones missing, but we certainly made the most of them and enjoyed the family we have! God is great and we are so blessed.

We have eaten tons of food the past few days and I think we have actually opened some presents every day for the past four believe it or not! Hannah was spoiled with a new slide from mom and dad, a new kitchen stove from Grandma and Grandpa Zabell, a new tricycle from Grandma and Grandpa Clapper, as well as a dolly (named Abby) with her high chair and crib from both sets of grandparents, along with many more clothes, toys and books galore. Thank you to all, she absolutely loves them and I had to clear out much of her playroom to accomodate all these fun things!

Hannah had fun dumping her toys out and playing in the box.

She loved dancing to the song the ornament played.

Uncle Bryan taught her how to make rolls - it's all about surface tension...

Pics from the Children's Museum

Joe and I took Hannah to the Minnesota Children's Museum back before Thanksgiving and I am a bad blogger so am just now realizing that I took pictures of it and should probably post them...


Adventures of seeing Santa

Joe and I brought Hannah to see Santa yesterday at the Rosedale mall. We waited in line for over an hour. When we were just about to see him Hannah decided it would be fun to spin in circles, which she does frequently. This time however, she must have overdone it a little because she stopped and threw up a little bit on her dress. Nothing too big, just enough to make her breath smell awful and make a dribble on her dress...quick blanket and apple juice to the rescue! Joe quickly used the blanket in the bag (first thing I could find) and I quickly opened the apple juice to make her breath smell better. Whew. We couldn't really get her to smile, but it was cute anyways. She even tried her candy cane afterward and did great (besides being super sticky!)!
