Party Number 1

Much of Paul's family and some of our dearest friends were here on Saturday to celebrate Claire's 3rd birthday. We had a great time, and though it was a little overwhelming for Claire at times, she was delighted with all the attention! I know this because she is STILL talking about it!
When 30 people broke into the "Happy Birthday" song I really thought she was going to loose it. She had a brief look of terror on her face and I was waiting for the tears to come. Thankfully it ended quickly, and we distracted her with blowing out the candles, which she loves!

Of course, she wanted to play with every present as soon as she opened it, so here she is having a short tea party with our sweet Maggie Mae! Maggie dropped by with her family even though they were supposed to be having early Thanksgiving at their house an hour later!! We love you Sara, Sean, Maggie and Nicholas!


One of the best parts was having our Lizzie there all day!

As you can see, the children were in rare form! They're so special....and we're so proud! LOL

What a goofball!

She loved opening the presents....Duh, what kid doesn't! Isabel and the other girls wanted to "help" but Claire would say, "Not you"!

I tried to get a quick picture of Claire playing with the other 3 year olds, her cousins Emma Hope and Sophia. It didn't turn out so well.....because they were not paying any attention to me, what-so-ever, THANKYOUVERYMUCH!

Unfortunately, I was too busy to take a lot of good pictures. I got some pictures....they just aren't the ones I wanted to get! Oh well! I'll try again next time....which for us is next weekend!
