Here are some pictures from the Christmas present opening time. Clara received most of the gifts under the tree. She was helpful on passing out all the gifts and helped open everyone's gifts. She has had a fun morning playing with her new toys and trying on all of her new clothes. She has been watching movies that Aunt Colleen brought over for her to see. I made some lasagna for dinner. The weather has been cool with rain. If anyone was wondering Santa did find us a new camera off of E-bay but we won't get it until we go home. The pictures from this trip have been from Karen's camera. We are enjoying our Christmas and we hope the same for you.

Trains and Christmas Fun

Yesterday we went to Cincinnati to Duke Energy and saw the train display, fountain square and saw the ice skaters, Devou Park to a Museum with trains. Clara enjoyed all the excitment. She was really tired by the end of the day. I think she has enjoyed seeing all the lights and Christmas Displays.

Today was Brian's Grandma's 80th Birthday. We went and sent a few hours with her and enjoyed some blueberry Cheesecake. When we got back to Grandma and Grandpa's Clara enjoyrd swining in her swing and singing Rock a bye baby. She ezcited for Santa to come tonight. I hope to post Christmas Pictures tomorrow.

Merry Christmas!
