It turns out that it doesn't matter if you celebrate a child's birthday or not, they still get a year older. And since I can't keep that from happening, we may as well celebrate! :) We took Claire out on her birthday for her special birthday lunch. She chose to try something new, so we took her to ParkStone Wood Kitchen at Station Park in Farmington. She ordered the fish and chips...and we even got her to try calamari! And she loved it!! Claire's wonderfully mature palate and willingness to try new foods is one of the things we love best about our firstborn. We had such a fun lunch, eating yummy food and talking about life and how Claire is doing. She's such sweet and special girl! Later on that evening, since it was her birthday, we let her open one of her birthday presents from Danny and me. She's been wanting a watch for a while, so she was super excited!
The rest of her presents had to wait until the next day when we would have her family birthday party. Our kids are so lucky to live by so much family that all loves them so much! Claire got some fun presents this year...but among her favorite were her gifts from Johnny and Claire. She's especially excited to give that mermaid tail a try!
Happy Birthday, Claire Bear!! You are growing up to be just the most delightful and beautiful girl. We love you!!
