PRINCESS PARTY!!! (HB to M&C)

Matt & I took time out of working to take Claire out to lunch for her birthday



Our baby girl is 3!!!  It took quite a fun Cinderella/Princess Party to appropriately celebrate the occasion!  It just so happened that her birthday party fell on Matt's actual birthday, so you could say that the princess party was for Matt too:)


Giant chocolate cake piece from the Cheesecake Factory


Matt got cheesecake for his bd choice

The construction walls are down!  Just in time for the bd party.  It feels so real now!

Carpet in!  Office

Guest room

Birthday cuddles.  She gives you one Minnie to cuddle, while she cuddles the other Minnie.
Gifts from Auntie Kristin, Uncle Cory, PJ & Seb

Wasted no time in trying out her new paint pens

Out to dinner on Claire's actual birthday with Uncle Ben and Aunt Linda - in town for C's birthday.

First time taking the kids to a hibachi grill - fun, but I think they were still a bit too young.





BD pineapple and a song for Matt





Laying out the pink carpet for our princess guests




We hosted the party in the new part of the basement!  Decorations compliments of Linda and Ben
Little stations of all of Claire's favorite things around the room. This is the beading station.

We had a bunch of siblings of the princess guests who came, too, and they enjoyed the bounce house

Cinderella even came to Claire's party.  It was Matt's idea to invite her (so cute of him) and Claire was enamored of her

Photo Opp time!





Cinderella fell over after we served half of her dress!

Boys and girls liked Cinderella and her face painting


Luke wasn't very into her though


Jeff & Madeline seemed to enjoy the party
It was a pretty mild day, so a few friends stayed for an after party which was so fun!

Matt thought it was so funny that she was eating frosting off of this naked Barbie


BD gifts from G&G Mackus - pretty ballerina musical jewelry box

Breakfast with B&L before they headed back to the airport


Walking out with Uncle Ben

Opening gifts from the day before- Anteater Antics game from B&L was a hoot!




Another nice day - so spent some good time outside



Still fun to see the new house

Open Lands hike with the new bug box from G&G Mackus

It was sooooo muddy, Luke had a grand time putting his rain boots into the muddy parts

A full day outside calls for some time by the fire - it is still February.
