We love our “tweets” around here and I’m loving Claire’s long toddler sentences! She spied this red-bellied woodpecker (yes, red-BELLIED…some ornithologist missed an anatomy lesson) and has been yapping on about the big bird “dat fwies and eats awl da yums, he ees big!”

Claire wakes up every morning waiting to make “anjewels” in the snow and informs us about the phases of the moon: “when iz dark ‘den ‘deres a moon. Yook! a biiiig moon, Woooooow!”

Photos from Christmas are here, there’s a few more floating around I’ll collect and post another time, but here are two of Claire and cousin “Moo-cheal” enjoying a sleigh ride with McManda. It reminds me a lot of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtz5rJ78pTQ
