Party Time!

Even though Claire doesn't officially turn one until Wednesday,

today was Claire's 

1st birthday party!

We had a great time celebrating

Claire's first year of life,

and taking time to think about

what a joy and a blessing she is to us.

The theme of her party was 

"Our Little Sunshine"

{What can I say, I'm a sucker for themes! Even in high school,

I once threw an "Under the Sea" themed dinner party, ha}

I'll share more photos of the party details in a later post,

but for now, here are some of my favorite shots from the day.

{In her party hat- thanks Aunt Rebecca for those!}

{Playing with her tambourine... future percussionist like daddy?}

{She loved her new talking dog}

{Grandpa being... himself :). Love you dad!}

{Hmm... this seems kind of tasty...}

{Yep. Definitely tasty!}

{Wes and I with our birthday girl}

Claire- You are such a gift to us!

Your mommy and daddy love you more than you know,

and we look forward to many more birthday celebrations for you

as we watch you grow into the little lady

that God created you to be!

Happy nesting!
