But truly, tonight was over the top.
In summary: We would love to hear your plan, as long as it is the same as our plan.

Regarding my closing thoughts from yesterday, I have been trying to come up with reasons Claire could celebrate Hanukkah so that I can rationalize buying this:
Doesn't the Jew-fro on the little boy in the front just kill you??
Also, I bought this tonight.... in a 2T/3T. It's never too early when you buy the very last one AND it is on sale. I wanted this jacket on Black Friday, when I made my family drive to Salt Lake with me on Thanksgiving evening just so I could be crazy and run through Janie and Jack snatching great deals. Unfortunately, after I had torn apart the sale rounds, I made my way to the new line at the front of the store. And there it was... in the hands of another woman, on its way to the checkout counter: the very last one. It was a sad moment.
My heart skipped a beat when I pulled it off the rack today. So beautiful, and even more appealing with a couple more markdowns!
Yes, I realize some of you are thinking that is the ugliest coat you have ever seen. Just wait till you see it on my baby. It might be a while.

I am feeling generally uninspired lately, except for the sudden urge to do laundry (but never to fold it.)
I have a shopping problem. The bigger problem is that I only shop for Claire. I may be in clothes from high school, but at least my daughter never wears the same thing twice. (Only kidding, sort of.)
I remember when Chris and I really liked Heroes. One night, towards the beginning of my pregnancy, he turned to me and said, "I kind of like the name Claire." (Or maybe it was me, but the point is, we agreed.)
I made lasagna tonight. It was not very good. I am convinced that the marinara sauce I used was watered down. I will avoid saying the brand lest I lose your any respect you might have for me. (Suffice it to say, it never would have flown in the Old World.)
Today I lost the Tiffany charm to my necklace. On a scale of 1-10 this sucks about 100. Chris gave me the charm attached to a bracelet which I have already lost. I was grateful to have not lost the charm. (Moral of the story: do not buy me any nice, sentimental, or otherwise thoughtful presents.)
Speaking of presents, sometimes when I am lying or sitting still, I am convinced I can still feel the ocean. I would do anything for this to be true. (Thank you Mo & Po.)
I think I am turning into one of those crazy people who will die at 100 with a collection of Beanie Babies and Little People paraphernalia. I think this is due both to my immaturity and my tendency to hoard unnecessary items. (Chris and I may have spent 30 minutes in Wal-Mart yesterday debating between getting Claire a Little People SUV or a race car track meant for a boy. We left with nothing.)
Things are slow at the Leppert household. (If you couldn't tell.)

We are back from a perfect vacation. Claire was the definition of easy-- entertaining and easily entertained. Chris is back to work and I am resolving to get to work.Oh, and we are still really obsessed with our daughter. And thankfully, Chris got me a Flip video for Christmas, so I know you will all be anxiously anticipating more video of those chubby cheeks!
