"Hyper" does not even BEGIN to describe Claire over the last week before Christmas. We've all been having fun getting ready and counting down the days.
One night Mimi came for dinner and we took Claire out on a tacky lights tour. We had fun, but Claire wasn't quite as enthralled as I expected her to be (she kept saying she was tired and ready to go home!) The first house on our trip was my favorite - you could walk through their backyard and there were just thousands of lights. Claire was excited to spot Frosty AND they had candy to give out :-) (Lintz Lane for future reference!)
We've been spreading out the excitement a little by allowing the kids to open a couple gifts here and there as they arrive in the mail. The first one was from the Swicks - it was an adorable book read by Madison and Cole. Claire loves it and Fielder mostly liked the paper!
Next up were a couple gifts from Mary Lynn and Uncle Mike. She was BEYOND excited to open them....see what I mean:
5 is just the best age yet for Christmas-craziness!! I can't even imagine what next year will be like when Fielder actually understands that he is getting presents.
