First Day of School!
Claire’s first day of school was Wednesday. She was so excited to go the “big kid” class – four-year-old preschool.
All ready for school.
View of the new backpack.
She was turned waving two seconds before the digital camera clicked. It was so cute. At least this picture reminds me of what I saw.
The Newest Citizen!
Isabel became a citizen last week and we all went to the ceremony and had a celebratory luncheon at our house.
Taking the oath.
Izzy with her paperwork.
The three fabs. We took this pic a few years ago for Daymara. This will be the last since Mommy was born here!
Kaia and Claire had a fun time playing together.
They always have so much fun when we can get them together. I wished we lived closer!
Until next time . . .

Birthday Party!
She’s making a wish!
Being patient and waiting for Mommy to find the knife.
So excited for her cake.
Alec didn’t like wearing the hat . . . didn’t help that someone snapped the elastic when they put it on him (grandma . . .)
Alec making peace with the elastic.
and the hat.
Sweet pic of the little brother. I’m sure he was wishing his big sister a happy 4th birthday!
Happy Birthday Sweet Claire!
We love you very much!

Presents!
She was so excited!
Alec got her Blue and Magenta!
She liked them so much, Alec usually likes her kisses but doesn’t this just seem like such a typical “my sister is kissing me” face.
A new Pete the Cat book!
She was so excited!
Here she is in her “I’m the birthday girl” she has worn for all of her birthdays. Next year might be the last!
And she loved her cape.
Super Bunny!
And Mommy’s poor decision. She really wanted a drum and this one is A LOT quieter than the pots and pans she was using.
What is it?
She loves puzzles!
And new paints!
New sippy cups for Daisy.
They were a real hit.
With Alec too!
He thought it was so funny.
And Alec got a Blue too!
Claire got so many fun and wonderful presents for her birthday - too many to document each one! She is so loved and a lucky girl.
Happy Birthday Claire!

Pre-Birthday Tea Party
We had a ladies’ tea party the day before Claire’s birthday.
We all dressed-up and wore hats. Mommy served yummy cookies and lemonade. It was simply divine.
Aiy ai was a little late but made sure to dress for the occasion.
