Claire is 4!

Claire has been 4 for over two weeks now but I am finally posting the pictures!  It has been a busy couple of weeks and things seem to just be getting more hectic as we approach the end of the school year!  We had a lot of fun celebrating with Claire.  The most important question she had once she turned 4 was "when do I get my booster seat?".  That is a high priority these days, she really wants to be like her big brother.  Her favorite things these days are anything hello kitty or pink!  She is very particular when it comes to clothes and told me the other day that what I picked out for her "wasn't her style!"...haha.  I was afraid to ask what her style was but she told me "everything I like is butterflies, stripes, polka dots, and dresses!"  I guess I need to keep that in mind next time!

At Montessori they celebrate by having you carry the earth around the sun and each time you turn another year old they stop and we show pictures of Claire at 1,2,3 and finally 4!  I did this for Blake last year and it is very cute but also gets me a little choked up!  I took a video of part of it since Ben couldn't be there to see it!

Afterwards they sing and then she blew out the sun!

Another year older!  I can't believe it!

She brought cookies for the class that she helped me bake.  

Baby Madeline was having a good time watching all the kids.

Baby loved being the center of attention and Claire didn't mind sharing her big day with little sister.  Our goofy Claire smiled nice for this pic...haha.  Claire is so proud of being a big sister and loved showing all her friends her baby!

The day before her actual birthday we had her party at World of Bounce!  

It was a Hello Kitty theme of course!

The cake was a lot easier this year!

She loved being in the birthday chair.

and bouncing with her friends.  (They moved too fast I couldn't get many pictures!)

down the slide...backwards of course!

We got her a big girl bike and she was ready to ride!

Happy Birthday Claire!

We love you!
