Claire is 3!!

Our little princess is 3! Seriously 3 already? Seems like yesterday our docile little baby was sitting in the swing sucking her fingers without a care in the world! That sweet little baby has turned into Ms Princess Sassafrass and we love it! Claire had a really special week, full of lots of spoiling, lots of great gifts and so much sugar we are still feeling the effects from! She woke up on her birthday and said, "I'm not 2 anymore right? " The week of her birthday she was also "Star of the Week" at daycare which comes with lots of extra special attention! We had to interview Claire as part of her star of the week special duties so her teacher could share with her class. She has some great answers and this makes me think I should start interviewing my kids each year on their birthdays and add it to their scrapbooks. Here are her answers:

1. What is your favorite color? PINK ( no surprise there)

2. What is your favorite book? PINKALICIOUS ( again no surprise)

3. What is your favorite movie? PRINCESS AND THE FROG

4. What is your favorite thing to play with? MY BABIES

5. What do you want to be when you grow up? A PRINCESS

6. I am special because... GOD MADE ME!

7. What is your favorite food? CHICKEN NUGGETS

8. What is your favorite animal? CHARLIE MY DOG

On her birthday I was able to eat lunch with her and we celebrated with her daycare friends with princess cupcakes!

I love the pure excitement on her face in this picture!

Making a wish!

Every princess needs a special birthday crown!

On her birthday she opened up gifts from very special friends and family, including a new stroller for her babies, new books, sticker earrings, Hello Kitty watercolor book, and a fish named Bubbles from Carter.

On Sunday, we continued the week long celebration with a picnic in her honor with our family. Once again, we are so spoiled to live next door to the best baker and cake decorator EVER! Elizabeth created a pink masterpiece for Claire with accompanying frilly cupcakes decorated in edible pink glitter. The cake was white almond with raspberry filling and as always to DIE FOR! I know people will always come to my kids' parties just so they can have some of her cake! Thanks Elizabeth! YOU ROCK!

Showing off Snow White and Cinderella dolls!

The GRAND prize, a pink princess bike that just screams Claire! It is complete with front basket and baby carrier in the back. It is full of pink and frill, just like Claire!

Second cousins Maddie, Maycie, Makenzie and Nolan help Claire celebrate!

Happy birthday Claire bear! We love you!
