Claire turned 5!


Aaron with all the kiddos on the swingset

    A couple of weeks ago my niece, Claire, turned 5 years old!  So she had a princess party to celebrate the event at Nana and Papa's house.  We had a beautiful day to celebrate, so before pizza, cake and presents all the kids played outside swinging, sliding, driving the pink cars and general mayhem.  Tate tried to keep up with the big kids, Drew watched Tate try and all the girls just kept on playing as hard as they could. 

    Claire gave Tate a ride in their pink jeep, she did a very good job driving.  But this photographer, guilty, distracted her long enough for a photo and shortly after said photo was taken, there was a small collision with the car and the gutter off the side of the house.  The airbags did not deploy, there was no damage to car or house and everyone walked away without crying.  Success.

     After hosting Tate's first birthday and attending a five year old's birthday, I give props to my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, they have it figured out.  Pizza, ice cream cake, Nana & Papa's and mostly outdoors, genius.  Serious geniuses at work.  Notes were taken by this first time Mom, that's for sure.
