This picture pretty much sums up the evening...she LOVES cake!!

But she hates anything on her face or head!!!! Notice the glasses are off!

Her cake! Yaz made it!

Her new pink driving/walking toy with music. she "shakes it" just like her brother!

She loves standing and wants so badly to walk. soon ......

Attempt at a family shot! maybe next party!!!

Claire kissing sweet Pawpaw!!

All the cousins on my side. We are super close and the kids LOVE each other!

Thanks Kim for letting us borrow this fun pinata to display!

this is this morning....quite the happy camper!!!!

Claire's party was a BLAST! We just do family for 1st birthdays and to me, it makes it even more special. Wells was truly confused as he thought it was his all over again. He greeted everyone, wanted to open all her gifts, and even asked where the Little Einsteins were! After a while, he got it...but wasn't too happy with Claire getting all the attention! She, on the other hand, had a blast! I think she knew it was all about her! She let everyone hold her (and feed her) and she hammed it up all night. It was so special because Chris' grandfather Pawpaw was able to join us! He is such a PRECIOUS man and we love him! He just moved to a nursing home here and we consider it a huge blessing to spend time with him finally!

We did a pizza dinner and cake. Chris' mom, who we call Yaz, made her cake. She did a great job! Thanks so much Yaz!! And I kept all the decor with the butterfly, flower, and 1 theme. I didn't make myself all stressed out about it, and it was really so much fun! Claire got the cutest clothes you've ever seen, three precious dolls (which she holds and kisses constantly) and a nursery rhyme book. Gosh, it's so fun to have a girl!!! :) I love having one of each! Again...Wells just doesn't get it that dolls and pink aren't for him. Oh well...one day!! It was a perfect night!
