As any parent knows, time goes way too fast when it comes to your children growing up. I still refer to Claire as "baby." I guess now that she is officially 4 years old and she has a baby brother, I should call her something else. Nah. She is still my baby girl.
We celebrated today with her first big girl birthday party. She invited a few friends from school and Cinderella was the main event. I knew Claire was excited when she woke up and immediately put on the new dress we bought her for the party. The deal was sealed when I saw her face when Cinderella arrived. Yep. I got teary. I wasn't alone. I think Oma, RoRo, and Aunt Lisa all got teary more than once! RoRo lost it during the princess dance. I got teary every time Claire reached out to touch Cinderella telling her she likes her dress, her hair, her headband, her everything. Oma barely made it through the finale when Cinderella told the kids she hoped all of their dreams came true and sang the "Dream is a Dream" song. It was beautiful! Even Zac stopped and was wide eyed to hear Cinderella's beautiful voice. The 4 boys we invited spent the majority of their time playing outside while all of the girls enjoyed princess time. But all in all it was a success!
This video gives you a great insite to the event. Make sure you watch untill the end to see Zac being...Zac.
Happy Birthday to the most unique, creative, kind, caring, smart, and beautiful girl in the world! We love you!

Happy birthday, Claire. Your birthday party was spectacular. Cinderella truly was a beautiful gift and the looks of enchantment on the faces of the little girls & the boys were delightful to behold. How glad we were to be a part of such a special day. Butch & RoRo send you much love.
