Claire’s first outing was to Hunt’s Christmas Tree Farm. She didn’t like her carseat so much, but as soon as we started driving, she settled down. Mommy and her hung out in the garage with Santa while Daddy and Jesse picked out the tree.
We don’t believe in Santa, but Santa thought an 8 day old baby coming to the tree farm was neat – he asked to have his picture taken with her! 🙂
At home the next evening, Jesse enjoyed watching Daddy string the lights. ‘Liy!’ is one of his new favorite words, and he really enjoys turning on the Christmas tree in the morning. I will post better pictures of our finished tree and other decorations after Jeremy gets some shots on his camera – I have trouble getting the lighting right with mine.
Oh what fun!! Someday you will be able to tell Claire that her first outing was when you went to cut your Christmas tree!! 🙂

They look so much alike already!!! It was nice of you to be so gracious to “Santa”. The first time I saw a Santa I was a little over a year old – I freaked out. Unfortunately it was at my Aunt’s house and Santa was her father. 🙁 He had to go change and pass out gifts in normal clothes!
Awww, the pic of her sleeping in the carseat!!! 😀
