Claire turns 4!

Claire's birthday was on Wed, but I had to wait to post until today because we celebrated with the family yesterday. Every night last week there were baseball games and then Claire got sick with a fever all day Sat. She pulled through just in time for have a nice celebration. On her birthday night Jesse had a softball game and so we brought cupcakes along with us and the whole baseball team sang to her. She looked a bit shy by it, but I could tell she was loving it. All this week Claire has been telling complete strangers that "it's my bir-day!" While at sonic it earned her a free kids toy, at the bank she got a sucker and so I guess she figured that she would continue to get free stuff if she told everyone. :)

Connie the dress you bought the girls just looks darling on them. I took bella's off so she wouldn't slime it with beans and cake. :)

Jesse designed and helped frost the cake for me since it was mothers day. I think the cake turned out really cute, and most important it was darn tasty!

Claire is the sweetest girl I know! She's very honest and so when she tells me out of the blue, "Mommy, I love you," I know she means it. She's also become a little social butterfly. I just love seeing her make fast friends while at the baseball games. Before her birthday I got out the barbies that I used to play with throughout my childhood to see if she was ready for her own. They kept her mind busy for a few hours and so that's what we bought for her this year along with a doll house. I'm actually looking forward to playing along with her because I still enjoy playing with barbies I have to admit. Having a doll house like this would've been awesome as a kid! :)

Here's a short video of Claire (or should I say Wyatt) blowing out her candles. I wonder if she'll still get her wish? ha ha. It was a little windy otherwise we would've let her blow them out again. :) After cake all of us paired up and played a few games of Croquet. The first game Greg & Karen showed there awesomeness at the game, but the second game Jesse & I dominated! Odoyal rules!!! I think croquet is going to be our game of choice... until the mosquitoes come.
