Here are some moments that I never want to forget:
- the attendance of Claire's "Bestemore" (great grandma) - she is in her early 90s and we never know how much longer she will be with us
- how much fun Claire had rough housing with her Farfar
- looking over to see Bestemore dropping M&Ms on the ground for Khloe - thankfully Khloe spit them out because of the hard shell and I was able to grab them; Khloe always sits by her side because Bestemore is the most frequent food dropper
- Claire making cookies for Santa - actually she placed pre-made dough onto the pan but she didn't know the difference and had fun anyway
- watching Claire color a picture for Santa Claus - she used to draw circles everywhere but now she has resorted to scribbles one color on top of another
- setting out milk, cookies, Claire's picture, and carrots for Santa and his reindeer - of course she stuck her fingers in all of the cookies but we knew Santa wouldn't mind
- opening the first present...pajamas - the best part was that they were old pajamas; i had gotten them a couple of months ago and she's worn them many times...about two weeks before Christmas I wrapped them up; on Christmas Eve she couldn't have been more excited than if they were brand new
- going in Claire's room to document her being sound asleep
We were all looking forward to an exciting Christmas day!

Kids get so excited about even the little things. We should be 'as a child' and we would be much happier. We're counting on our Mission President to let us go home before Christmas for 2013. I'm sure he will; he has grandkids too and understands. We miss you Claire!
