Claire's Birthday (week!)

I swear Claire thinks that it's her birthday everyday now because she has 're-lived' it each day for the past week. They celebrated at preschool Thursday, in her regular class, then on Friday, in her Spanish immersion class. Then, we took her out for breakfast and let her open gifts on her real birthday, Saturday. And, because we weren't sure if Jeff was working Saturday, her birthday party was Sunday. And it carried on to the week with a shopping spree with birthday money and her free ice cream scoop at Baskin Robbins. Whew! That girl knows how to celebrate. :-)


We took Claire to IHOP for Saturday breakfast. She got a free breakfast, and then they topped it off with delicious ice cream and VERY loud singing, which scared her a little.

Then the girls went home and played dress-up all day:

We had a little party for her Sunday, complete with a bounce house. They loved it, and it is way more affordable than having a party somewhere else. However, it has been raining nonstop here and I had to have backups. So, we also had pin the tail on the donkey, and a pinata for the kids. We invited Claire's classmates from preschool and about half of them came. The best part was dress-up for the girls. They all loved the clothes, and played in them the whole time. It was the perfect party for the kiddos.
