Birthday Happenings

On Saturday we took the girls to iJump for something fun to do early for Claire's birthday. The girls loved it and had a blast! They bounced their little hearts out and Avri was even brave enough to attempt backflips into the foam pit! She did great, except for one minor incident coming too close to the trampoline and getting a little tramp burn on her cheek. But that didn't stop her from trying again and again. Claire was hilarious and jumped on the blue mats just as much as the actual trampolines. And she was much more cautious about the foam pits...she preferred to carefully climb down into it rather than jump. :)

 

After that we had a little lunch at Red Robin. We had the servers sing to Claire and they brought her an ice cream sundae. She was not so sure about all those strangers singing to her!

We took Claire to Toys-R-Us to spend the birthday gift certificate she got from the birthday club. She picked out some sparkly Ariel high heels. She loves them so much she even tried to sleep in them on Saturday night. She decided they weren't very comfortable for sleeping in. ;)

On Sunday after church we did a few fun activities that the birthday girl enjoys (games, fingernail painting, reading books, a walk to the playground, coloring play masks from JoAnns) Then we had dinner and a little party with cake and presents. Claire was very excited about her Anna & Elsa shirt, the fleece blanket I made her, and most importantly her bubble machine. That was all she asked for and she loves it!

All in all we had a great weekend of family fun and loved celebrating our Claire Bear!!
