Claire is 5!!

Claire turned 5 on February 25th! We celebrated on her actual day starting with sprinkle waffles for breakfast. She got to spend the morning at school with her friends and then we joined her there for her school party! Filled with her favorite snacks of cheddar Chex mix and mandarin oranges. Followed by cupcakes! Daddy read books to her class too! She picked her favorite lunch of bagel bites! And for dinner she picked Red Robin where she enjoyed a milkshake and chicken fingers. And finally, she picked out a cupcake at the bakery!

That weekend was her friends party! It was a butterfly themed affair! We did butterfly crafts, flew butterflies through flowers, went on a bug hunt and played bug bingo! It was a fun day!

At 5, Claire is 41.5 lbs and 42.5 inches tall.

She loves bugs and nature, reading books especially learning about animals, spending time with friends, gymnastics, playing with her sister and baby dolls.

Anna Kate is 3!

Anna Kate turned 3 on June 27th! We celebrated her big day with a surprise trip to The a Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg. We went in February and she hasn't stopped talking about it since so we were excited to take her there for her birthday!

After waking up that morning and opening all her presents we broke the news of the surprise! Then we hoped in the car and headed down. We spent the rest of the day celebrating the birthday girl with rides down the water slides, the outside pool, wave pool, sprinklers. We had cake back in the room with Grammie and papa and had a fun dinner at the restaurant there where the birthday girl got a special,birthday cupcake. We spent the rest of the night coloring, winning tickets in the arcade and going to the story time where they sang happy birthday again :)

 At 3, Anna Kate loves building with the magnatiles, making you treats with the Legos, playing with her big sister, reading books especially look and finds and her snacks! Her favorite foods are cantaloupe, roasted broccoli, puffs, chicken, strawberries, eggs, and candy :)

She is a free spirit for sure! Very friendly and will have conversations with anyone. She still loves to be carried! She loves her lovies and her mermaid doll.

She is 29 lbs and 36.5 inches!
