Claire Loves To Help

 Claire LOVES to help rake the leaves! This was from today, in our backyard (out by the garden plot).
She did such a great job helping, maybe I should have paid her some Christmas money. :)
Claire loves these leaves. She especially likes to rake the pile of leaves, then go and sit down prim and lady-like in the pile. Sometimes she'll let me put some leaves on top of her lap to "bury" her in the leaves, but not today. :)
 Our busy little girl. She hasn't been quite herself, what with teething, a bit of a runny nose and cough, and all the Christmas-time busy-ness going on at our house.
 Austin was so excited to unwrap a nutcracker from Britta this year for Christmas! Claire was loving on it, but was not particularly happy about the getting her picture taken part.
Austin and his first official nutcracker for our home. :) It's almost Christmas! We are getting so excited over here at our house! :)

I can't believe Claire is big enough to rake! What a cute helper! Claire loving on the nutcracker--she is definitely her father's daughter! We can't wait to see her again soon.

Did Claire REALLY rake that little pile of leaves....or did Mommy rake the leaves and put the rake in Claire's hand? This is really a cute post, though! Thank you for putting cute Claire on the blog!

Claire's such a good helper! She rakes up leaves and helps unload groceries. Can't wait until she can do dishes and clean the bathroom!
