Claire's Birthday Party

Well the summer started out really hot, went a little cool, and now is finally back into the normal average temperature. During one of those really hot spells we had Claire's birthday party. It was outside. On a day that hit 100. Luckily we had it in the morning so in the shade it wasn't too bad. It's the first time that we have ever used our yard for an event and I think it turned out quite well. Our little yard is bigger than I thought. Especially when I took the car out of our fake driveway. Maybe one day I'll have a yard, a real driveway and a garage. Sigh. Back to the party.

Lilybelle was super excited about the birthday party. She still talks about when her party will be. I tell her September, but I don't think she gets when that is. We had family over and had a Teddy Bear Picnic themed party because well we call Claire "Claire Bear" so I figured she needed a birthday party with a bear theme. It went great. We had bubbles, water toys, great people, and great food. We ended the event with teddy bear cupcakes.

Here's some photos of the day. The ones of Claire cracks me up. They are such classic Claire pictures. She doesn't believe in smiling. Oh I've also included one of my new super awesome cupcake pan. It is a thing of beauty. At least I think so.
