Clara loves her family and friends.

Here are a few videos of Clara listing the people in her family that she adores.  Here's a little translation:

Oma - my mom

Opa - my dad

Emmy - Auntie Em

Nie Nie - Auntie Teenie

Weezy - Uncle Steve

Ben

Will

Mama - Grandma Brooks

Pop - Grandpa Brooks

Bi-en - Uncle Brian

Bad - Uncle Brad

An-nie  - Auntie Angie

 

She also talks about GG - but she didn't list Great Grandma Appleford today during the video.  She also talks about Mac and Gwennie-Gwen, her puppies quite often while listing her family.

 

These other two videos are of Clara talking about her friends.  She's quite the quirky kid lately, and wasn't really in the mood to list her friends, but she did ok.  She talks about these friends a lot, and anytime she asks to "seet" (sit) on a bar stool, she has to talk about how Ezra sat there and drank juice.  Every time she sits on her swing on the back patio, she pats the seat on either side of her and says, "Aria" and "Ezra", because she swung on that swing with those two recently.  Funny girl!

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a few pics of some fun times with friends lately.  We had some families over for an impromptu dinner a few weeks ago.  Jess was about to pop, but still found time (and lap space) for two toddlers and a story.

Clara and Knox are great buddies.  Clara has started calling Knox Knoxie...weird, I know!

This was the table for a recent mother daughter brunch.  We usually just do this during the holidays, but since Teri moved back to Boise, we decided to do it twice a year!  It was great fun...but sadly I didn't snap any great photos of people!  Just the cute table on my Mom's patio!  You'll just have to take my word that the food and company was wonderful!
