the first birthday celebration

We had Dad, Kari and Shi over to celebrate Clare's birthday. She kept asking when we were going to have her REAL birthday...the one where her friends come over. I was so busy last week I knew I couldn't handle the stress of having a party for her so we are going to wait 'til after Thanksgiving break to have her friends over.

Clare decided she wanted cake for this birthday and choose green frosting w/ pink decorations. For her real birthday she wants cupcakes.





From Calvin, Mom, Dad, Lex and myself Clare got pink legos...she was super excited about this!

she also got some puzzles since she is getting really good at puzzles and spends lots of time on them at home.


Clare is a sweet girl. It was fun to celebrate her!
