Celebrating Claire---Part I: The Cake

Claire and I traveled to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Pennsylvania this weekend. This was the first of two parties to celebrate Claire's first birthday, which is coming up so fast on October 29.

Claire got to see so many of her family...Grandma and Grandpa; Uncle Greg, Aunt Jen, and cousins Zach, Ben, and Seth; Uncle Don, Aunt Beth, and cousins Megan and Holly; Aunt Carol and cousin Tessa; Auntie Sharon, Uncle Marty, and cousins Kim and Allie; and a quick visit with cousin Mona. Everywhere she turned, someone wanted to see her. It was the Claire show, and I think she enjoyed being the star.

Grandma cooked up a marvelous meal on Sunday, and then came the big event...

CAKE!!!!!




And there was a Claire-sized cake of her very own...



Think she likes it???
