Happy Birthday dear Claire

Today is little Claire's first birthday! I can hardly believe it, it seems like just yesterday she was born, and now she is not a baby anymore. I guess the more kids you have the faster time goes. Today for her birthday we are going with daddy and brothers to The Build-a-Bear workshop, to make a bear. We got the idea from my sister Amy, who has taken all her girls there on their 1st birthday. I thought it was a good way to celebrate so I copied her idea.
On Sunday Claire stood right up and took a few steps. She keeps trying hard but still only manages a few steps, It won't be long until she too will be running circles around me.
We celebrated Claire's birthday this past weekend with Dave's family. I made a cake which unfortunately did not make it because Ammon tried to open the container in the car and pretty much ruined it. Luckily I took a picture of it. We ended up buying a cake from walmart. Oh well. We are so blessed to have little Claire in our family.
