Belated Christmas in Georgia

Clara and I spent a belated Christmas in Georgia January 6th through the 11th. Clara loved her new presents. And Great-Grandma Selma was also in town so we all had a nice visit. Clara even got to see her first snow. Even though there wasn't any accumulation, it was pretty to watch it fall through the sky. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip:

Clara didn't want to stop playing for anything... even the call of nature. I guess it is good that she is learning to multi-task early.

She also delighted in pushing her new baby stroller all around the house as she said "walk, walk, walk"

Tea for two, anyone? This doll table and chair set belonged to Grandma Dayna. Clara didn't seem to notice that it was for dolls and not girls.

Great-grandma Selma gave Clara her first tea set. She played tea with it for quite some time, and then when that was over she started throwing the pieced through the cat door down the stairs to the basement. Fun! Prehaps we'll wait a bit longer before turning the glass tea set back over to her.

What I love most about this picture, besides the fact that is has 4 generations of my family, is the fact that you can't tell how utterly exhausted we all were. This picture was taken at the end of the trip when I realized that we hadn't gotten a shot of all of us together. Mom and I had spent the prior 3 days laying over 1000 sqft of laminate flooring in the basement while Great-Grandma Selma entertained Clara upstairs. I don't know how we had our eyes open, much less the energy to smile.

Grandpa Chris had to work a lot of our visit. Unfortunately he and I work opposite weekends; the busy life of pharmacists ;) But at least he was able to come up on Monday and spend the day with his Granddaughter.
