Claire's fascination with chocolate began on December 1st when we pulled out the advent calendar.  From then on, every morning she would wake up and say "Chocolate" and sometimes she would say "Chocolate, Mouth" and point to her mouth.  We then had to remind her that we only have the chocolate before reading books at bed time.

We tried on the snow suit that Melissa gave us in preparation for our trip back to the Midwest in late December.  Surprisingly, it still fit Claire.  She was sweating bullets when we took it off.

I haven't done a great job of taking photos lately.  I've also fallen a few weeks behind on the blog and have forgotten what we did during this week.  I've started playing quite a bit of basketball lately and have really been enjoying that.  The addition of Parker has been great but it is also quite a bit of work in the early stages.  He's a great dog though.
