Christmas Part Three

Our third Christmas celebration actually started on Christmas Eve when Clara and I made cookies for Santa. Can I just tell you, they were delicious! Santa loved them so much, he only left crumbs!

We all know that Santa is a huge Texas Tech fan so we are always sure that we leave out a Tech plate with some yummy goodies for him and the reindeer...

Since we don't have a chimney, we left out an extra key for him on the porch so he could get in...

We woke up to a very white Christmas (Adam and I couldn't remember when the last time that happpened!) Clara was so excited that Santa came and brought her so many fun things! She went straight for the stockings (well, not until after she ran to her room to find a Christmas book with pictures of stockings that Santa had filled).

Santa brought Clara a very special baby doll with a cradle, along with clothes, diapers, food and a bottle for the baby...

She got a very special tea party set that we have enjoyed on daily basis...

And, most exciting of all, the one and only thing she wanted for Christmas - a Lollipop...

as big as her face!

After presents and breakfast, we ventured out into the snow for lots of playing. We got almost three inches and it was super powdery - fun for playing, but not the best for making a snowman. We made the most of it and had a blast with making angels, snowball fights and making the tiniest little snowman. Adam made Clara a sled out of a cardboard box and rope and it proved to be the greatest way to enjoy snow. Enjoy the slideshow below!
