Daddy's Girl
Look what Santa brought!

Claire was definitely on the good list

Notice Miss Priss's pointed toes
She looked over the clothes and went straight for the jewelry. She is definitely paying attention to Mommy.
Well, we had the best Christmas yet. Bucky and I have celebrated a lot of Christmases together over the years. But this one definitely takes the cake. There is something magical about seeing it through a child's eyes. Claire and I spent the whole week in Birmingham. We were able to visit with my family during the first of the week. Then, we joined Bucky at his parents' house. We are so blessed to have two wonderful families that love us, and especially Claire. Claire was beyond good. She was so sweet (minus a few moments) and really made everything special. I am thankful for such a great week with both sides of my family.
