T-15 days and counting . . .

One of my favorite pics of Claire

Can you believe it. Claire is going to be one year old in fifteen days. One year old! I don't know if I really believe it or not. So much has happened in the last 350 days . . . wow . . .

Anyway, more important things to get to. Since the public list helped me get my act together for Christmas, I am making one for her birthday. What could possibly need to get done? Plenty . . . oh plenty . . .

1. Send out party invitations for birthday parties (yes, plural . . . July 29th for just us, Aug 1st for the kiddies and Aug 2nd for the family - too many folks for the same day - popular girlie)
2. Decide on cake flavors/colors/finalize designs for cakes and cupcakes and buy supplies to make them.
3. Find dress I wore on my first birthday . . . is it in the second floor of the garage? Is it in the ballroom? Only 15 days to find it - let the hunt begin.
4. Wrap presents.
5. Buy presents (I think I am pretty close to being done).
6. Have 1st birthday pictures taken (but shouldn't this happen on the day or the day after?).
7. Decide on decorations/centerpieces and decorate house.
8. Find her some shoes that will fit . . .

I'm sure there will be more as time gets closer. Let me know if I am missing anything . . . Once this is all done I have to start on my Halloween list!

Here are some shots from the past year . . .


Couldn't quite make it through Uncle Lance's and Aunt Beth's wedding . . .


When we thought she might be a thumb sucker like her mommy was.



All clean post bath one night - take one.



I must have scared her with the flash . . take two.
