Claire's Birthday

Claire turned one in December. I have no idea where the year went. I do know that it passed in wonderful bliss. Claire has been a DELIGHT to our family. We have all been smitten by her sweet teasing happy personality. She loves to give us kisses. She loves to play with us. She smiles a lot. She is such a joy. We sure love her!


So the pictures posted in a random order and I'm okay with that. Here's what happened to her on her day. We started the day by opening presents. She helped but mostly Lily and Ollie opened them. She was happy to have new toys. Then I was holding her while getting breakfast for the other two kids. She was the unfrosted cupcakes on the counter. She wanted one. I thought well, why not, you only have one birthday a year. So she got an unfrosted cupcake for breakfast. The other two came in and saw what she was eating and of course wanted one. So they got cupcakes (and cereal) for breakfast. Spencer came in and was surprised to see everyone eating cupcakes for breakfast. That night we gave her a frosted cupcake. She was not sure about getting dirty. She touched it a few times and then decided to try to eat it by leaning over. Then she actually picked it up and ate a bit. I would have to say thought that she likes it better unfrosted. :)
