Clara running

Another fun picture of Clara in motion, this time running back from the park (in December).

Nona & Clara

Nona & Clara enjoying a moment on the purple bench, back in late December.

Clara in motion

and here's a picture of Clara on the littlest merry-go-round ever. She loved it.
(from our trip to Fairyland for the lights)

Fairyland Lights

Back in December we went to the Holiday Lights extravaganza at Fairyland with Molly's buddy Chaidan. The girls loved being there at night, and Molly really got into the Christmas stuff. She kept angling for celebrating it at our house: after a few questions about why we didn't have a Christmas tree (because we don't celebrate Christmas) she finally announced "I think next year we should celebrate Christmas." She also really liked the dressed up characters - especially the reindeer.

Backyard Fun (December 2009)

Some pictures from a morning in the backyard in December. (Molly in purple, Clara in blue)

Lego Reindeer

Molly has been making lego sculptures for ages, but in the past few months the sculptures have taken on more and more recognizable shapes. When I saw this sitting in the living room I thought Uncle Nouri had made it with her. Turns out she made it on her own and told him the whole story of what it is: a reindeer pulling a sleigh, with a man (Santa?) in it.
