The other day Claire worked on making her birthday cake for Jesus. This year she got very creative and used her piping bag to do some fancy decorating!
Claire's elf, Eddie, brought her a few gifts this year. He had some very crazy wrapping skills and some very crazy gift ideas! Each gift he gave, he wrote a note. Claire got Dominoes that she has to learn how to play and teach him when he returns, a color by number book to help her relax because he knows how crazy she can be, some dog dental sticks because he knows she doesn't like brushing her teeth so he thought she might want to try dental sticks instead! Then he also got her a small aquarium that you add water to and the fish grow larger in a few days- he said this is the best kind of fish because you don't have to feed them. Finally he got her a puzzle with different fruits on it and dared her to do the puzzle and then try each kind of fruit from the puzzle and a notepad with inspiring sayings on to keep her spirits up while he is away. Pretty thoughtful elf after all!
Claire's wish list included a pet rock. So, Claire got a pet rock named Fred. The noted told her his name and asked her to color him. Crazy gift request but easy to fulfill!
Claire got Jeff a chess and checkers board. Jeff spent some time teaching Claire how to play chess. He better be careful, she is one smart cookie and catches on quickly!
A request from Santa was AirPods. I love the excitement on her face when she opened these!
We plan to take Claire on a vacation in August to a surprise place. We thought it would be fun to order her a puzzle with a few of the things that we will be doing on our vacation on it. She has until August to put together this 1000 piece puzzle to find out where she will be going! The hard part is we took away the finished picture so she has no clue what she is making! We will see how determined she is to find out where we are going in August!
Another item on her wish list was lollipops in cotton candy flavor. She asked for a lifetime supply...this should make it a few months at least!
She had asked for some specific books and was pretty excited to get some of the ones she asked for!
An Apple watch is something she has been asking for for over a year. We finally caved and got her one. She was super surprised and excited when she opened this final gift! Also in the picture is a large stuffed animal hamster (which Santa got her since it was at the top of her wish list to him- Claire names him Chunky).
We finished our Christmas celebration by lighting many candles and singing Happy Birthday to Jesus! He is the reason we celebrate today and to Him we owe everything! God has been so very good to us and our family. Praying for a wonderful new decade ahead!
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
