Claudia and I had a fun walk at Phillip's Farm today. We discovered that new trails were made and took the blue trail. It was fun since I asked Claudia to find our way back to the car. She did a real good job. Growing up fast.

Claudia has been sick for a few days but is getting a little better. She slept really late today which helped.

Claudia is four! She got a Barbie Jeep for her birthday that she can drive herself. It a bit icey out, but she did well. She has a good cough and we hope she does OK today.

She wanted pizza for breakfast, macaroni and cheese for lunch, and spaghetti for dinner. Her cousins will come over for dinner. Mimi and Aunt Susannah are here today as well.

Lots of videos and pictures put up on the flickr site.

We went to Claudia's concert at her preschool today. I give so much credit to her teachers. Claudia learned so many songs! She was front and center and did such a fabulous job. I'm a professional, I know about these things. We were so proud of her.

All the recordings are going up on flickr. Claudia is the loud singer with good pitch and great diction. You can certainly hear her! These are instant classics.

Claudia demonstrates her memory. How does she remember this stuff?

Claudia went roller skating with Santa tonight.

"Daddy, I want to go to the gym with Mommy. They have a play area. I could play while Mommy does her exercising"

"Well, maybe you could exercise too, Claudia. What type of stuff would you do in the gym"

"The weights Daddy. Definitely the weights."

Claudia had a really good time in Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving. She and her sister were really good travelers, especially on the long trip home. Claudia worked really hard feeding the horses and letting them out. She even rode Wendy without a saddle. She was a big girl.

We did the usual activities. Claudia sat at the table the whole evening for dinner and was lots of fun. We also went to Uncle Tyler's restaurant which is always a big hit.

Trouble.

Claudia had fun at the cross country banquet last night. She took a big step up and helped Daddy pass out the awards. She felt like a big girl. She wore a very pretty dress and even got to talk to Julie (which was her favorite part).

claudia just had a jelly bean

These sisters take care of eachother!

Mommy's birthday present was getting pictures taken. It took awhile to happen as we got moved by rain two times. But the pictures turned out great.

THREE DESSERTS! - Claudia LOVED the buffets :)





Johnnie Rockets was a big hit in Vegas with their dancing waiters and hats! She couldn't believe she got to take it home with her. The turtle Grandpa got her at the Shark Reef and the hat from Johnnie Rocket's were the first things she wanted to show Daddy when we got home :)

Claudia: I'm three and half, I'm not even afraid of ghosts. By the time I'm four I won't be afraid of anything.
