Claire turns 5

My sweet Claire Margaret

6-12-06

Well my little Claire Bear has turned 5. I really can't believe it, I can remember having her and how we couldn't believe we had another little girl. Now she is about to go to Kindergarten. Claire had a very fun birthday weekend, for months she has been saying she wants to go to the place where they cook in front of you. So on Saturday night we headed to a Japanese Steak House as a family, crazy thing is we almost fill a table all on our own. Claire was so happy and so was everyone else bc we haven't gone there in a long time.

Claire had a smile the whole night!!!

She was SO excited to see the fire volcano, Ruby was NOT!!!!

We sure do love this little girl. She is definitely high maintenance, but honestly Brian wouldn't want her any other way. She is HIS BABY GIRL!!!!! (don't worry I love her too, but in Brian's eyes she can do NO wrong, I know better!! )

Sunday morning we her actual birthday so we had a big breakfast and opened presents before church. She was just giddy!!!

Pure JOY!!! She loved the gift from her Memere and Papa, 2 cute little fairies. And also the one from Mama and Big Daddy, an Olivia set.

I LOVE these 2 pictures!!!! She is looking so big and grown up!!!

Claire loves her sisters, and Coleman was happy to help install batteries in the bubble blower.

After church we packed a picnic dinner and headed up to the canyon with our dear friends the Bonnettes. We had fun cooking and making s'mores. It was the perfect ending to this very special birthday!!!

These kids sure do love each other!!!!
