Happy Birthday, Claire!

Our sweet Claire Elaine is four years old!! I can't believe it. Some days, I remember when she was itty bitty like it was yesterday and somedays it seems like forever ago. Claire is a fun, sweet, sensitive little girl. She loves to sing, dance, play teacher, dress up and play outside. She loves animals. She is cautious, but she loves a good adventure. With some coaxing, she will try just about anything. More than anything, Claire LOVES princesses.

Claire loves all things princess- tiaras, dress up, make up. Her favorite princesses are Rapunzel from Tangled and Tiana from The Princess and the Frog. She can recite lines from the movies. She know all the lyrics to the songs. So Daren and I decided that, for her 4th birthday, we were going to have Rapunzel pay Claire a surprise visit. We sent this invitation out to all her princess friends. We brought all of Claire's dress up clothes so that the girls could have as many wardrobe changes as they wanted.

Playing on the playscape with her princess friends with no idea that there is a surprise visitor on the way.
It was time for the surprise guest to arrive and Claire spotted her! Look at that reaction- priceless!
"There she is!"
There were a few Rapunzels
Rapunzel made all the princesses their very own magic swords
She taught them all how to princess clap and curtsy. Here they are practicing the curtsy.
She put on a magic show
Blowing out the candles of her Rapunzel cake that she picked out!!
