Claire is 3!

By Claire's actual birthday on February 26, everyone felt much better. We celebrated by taking her to Epcot to the Princess breakfast. We surprised Claire and she was so excited! Evan really had a great time too seeing Claire get so excited. They are too cute together.

 Boys came out of sequester to help Claire open her gifts

Claire had a fairy birthday party for her big 3rd birthday. Unfortunately, Evan and Dad got a stomach virus that morning and could not attend. Some of her friends did not attend either afraid they also would get sick. But crisis was averted, as many of her friends and family did come and help her celebrate, along with Tinkerbell (and YEAH! no one else got sick!). Biggest crisis was that Joe could not help me with any thing and I had to do the whole party solo (entertain and make sure Claire was fine), but thankfully I had done most of the preparation the night before and also, as I've gotten older and busier, I care less about things being perfect. They were just perfect enough!

And all that really matters is that Claire had a great time celebrating with her friends. And that she did, she had so much fun with her friends and Tinkerbell! I cannot believe my baby girl is 3! Happy Birthday Sweet Claire.

Happy 4th Birthday Audrey!

Audrey celebrated her 4th birthday in true princess style, with a party at the Neverland Club at the Polynesian. The girls all had a wonderful time and Audrey was in 7th heaven hanging out with Cinderella all morning!
