Christmas 2008

This is Farrow Kate cleaning up cookies that Santa didn't finish. She was MUCH more interested in this than any of her toys. She was so glad he left some.
Christmas at my sister (Tara's). My mom and Mr. Thomas had been sick with stomach bug, so we opted for Christmas with them away from possible contamination. Everyone was well, and we had a great time.

Farrow Kate was destroying the decorations at my Dad's house. This ended up shattered, but he was very forgiving. He is pretty smitten with her.

"My Mac" (my Dad) and all of his grandkids except Farrow Kate who was getting a bath at the time.

This is my Grandmother (on the left) and her sister (Aunt Velma who is like another grandmother to me and Tara). They always look so festive for our Christmas get-together. By the way this is the grandmother that the "Claire" in Emma Claire's name comes from. She was 97 years old in April.

Pre-Christmas Fun

We visited with my family in Jackson

This is my Grandmother, the girls, and Callie (my niece)
The girls and My Mac

Yes, I know Callie looks just like me.

Jim's fun idea for my birthday celebration. Is that not cute?

Of course, the hours and hours of Christmas cookie fun.

Guilty As Charged

If you ask her "Did you get some candy?" , she says "naw". I will let you be the judge. She had wrapper and all. We finally had to put it up, but she says it was good while it lasted.

The picture doesn't do it justice of how she had it running all down her chin.

Emma Claire Decorates Farrow Kate

Now Emma Claire has gone professional. She not only puts makeup on herself but poor Farrow Kate. Farrow Kate is a trooper and actually loved every minute of it.

Leaf Fun

Although the leaves are sort of a thorn in my side, the girls love them. I am not sure that Farrow Kate understood the concept, but she had fun anyway. Of course Emma Claire had a blast.

Check Out Our New Makeup

Thank you Aunt Ta Ta for this wonderful makeup set. I think that is actually lipstick on her eyes mixed with some eye shadow and don't you love the arrangement of toenail polish she chose and painted on her own.

Happy Halloween

We had the cutest little lady bug and Tinkerbell on Halloween. They had a blast at the Reformation Party (even though Farrow Kate seemed to think the whole party was for her and it was so kind of everyone to put little candy in little baskets on the floor just at her level)
