Claire's Multiple Birthday Celebrations

Claire has had quite the 3rd Birthday.  She turned 3 while we were in Arizona, so we had a little pool party for her there with Abi (who was also in Arizona visiting her grandparents) and some little friends that we met down there last year. Then, when we got home, she had her party here with all her little friends from home.  Someone was a little spoiled this year.

The coveted Tinkerbell Wings - Thanks Abi!!












Claire's Birthday celebration at home was her big party.  Nona and Bubba and Pete and Konni came over earlier in the day to watch Claire open her BIG gift - A BOUNCY HOUSE!!!  It was a gift from Omi/Grandpa, Nona/Bubba, Shannon/Cameron/Trent/Parker, and Grandma/Papa.  Both girls were THRILLED about getting it.  I have to give Regen props.. she kept the secret from Claire for quite some time, since she got to bounce in it a few weeks ago when we 'tested' it out.  I have to say, it has been nice having it out in the garage this week.  They have both been exhausted and Claire has napped every day, and goes to bed much quicker after bouncing all day.  It will be a nice thing to have on hand when we need to burn some energy, have parties, or just need a change!  Thanks everyone!

She also got a bike from Mom and Dad




















Bouncy House!!













After that, then some friends and family came over to help us celebrate!

Her very own Tinkerbell Cake
