Well, as many of you may have heard, we didn't celebrate Clare's Birthday. We decided that she had been too wild this year and so we had no parties, cakes or presents.
Or maybe we had 3.
So, when this kid turns 16 and starts crying to me about a Sweet Sixteen fit for MTV, I fully intend to whip out these pics and tell her to "Hush it up!".
Clare's Birthday Tour started in Cleveland, where the very nice Mrs. Peterson gave Clare her first present of the Birthday month. It was a huge hit. Clare was very excited to see that under the wrapping paper was fun stuff.
Clare's Birthday Tour then moved onto to Cincy, with family BBQ and cake. As in the giant cupcake. The one I will never bake again. The one I hate with the passion of 1,000 fiery suns. Just sayin'.
We had all of my side of the family over for cake and ice cream and Clare did a great job attacking the cake. It was gross and adorable all at the same time.
In Hilton Head, it was her actual Birthday and we did Take 2, Same Cake. All of Chris's family (except Nana and Pop-Pop who were there of course) was on speaker phone singing Happy Birthday. Also, gross and adorable.
Back home, we had all of our extended family here over for cake and ice cream. Clare was very aware as to what the expectations were by this point and didn't even bother to hesitate with the cake eating business at hand.
On a more serious note, thank you all so much for helping celebrate Clare's 1st Birthday. It was beyond our wildest expectations that so many of you love our daughter as much as we do. We had a great time and Clare loved all of her presents!
So, above are lots of messy cake face and other fun stuff.
