Big sister Lilly was ultra excited to greet and play with party guests, eat cupcakes and pizza. The pinata was the highlight of the party... providing much needed sugar and toys galore. Lilly and friends successfully disassembled Claire's pull-string pinata. When the pinata opened, Lilly selectively gathered only the dum-dum "suckers" from the pile of candy. Claire watched from the sidelines.
Homemade cupcakes provided another much-needed carbohydrate rush amongst party guests. Chocolate or vanilla, take your pick... homemade chocolate buttercream or 7-minute frosting. Yum! Nana and mom had fun making (and eating) these before the party started.
Claire dug right in and enjoyed her little slice of heaven... sugar sugar sugar. Claire is a carb-o-holic, so this was a moment of true glory for her that probably left her wondering: "Where's the ice cream?"
But before the party began, we had a "balloon incident" in Lilly's room. The hazards of having ceiling fans all over the house become apparent everytime we have balloons. Inevitably, one (or 12) will become wrapped around the fans. Rob had fun "cleaning up" this one.
Happy birthday, Claire. We love you and wish you many more healthy and happy birthdays. Thank you to everyone for your beautiful cards and gifts. Claire adores each of them.

Hi Lori and Rob and girls! I absolutely love all these pictures, they are wonderful! Thanks for sharing, I'm sorry I haven't been keeping in touch more than what I have been.
It's great to see all the fun things going on, Claire's party really looked like fun!
Kansas has been getting more and more like Arizona.. it was SO HOT yesterday, and even today it's almost unbearable! Oh the joys of summertime, but what fun when theres a cold pool involved!
Love you all, hope to hear from you again soon!
