1st Birthday Party!

Thanks to our families for making Claire's 1st Birthday celebration so special! The party had just gotten underway!

Cake Face!

Claire didn't get very involved in the gift opening process, although she did help on this one!

Claire and Maddie had fun playing with Claire's presents!

Someone did quite well on her cake!

Maddie got in on the fun!

The pastry chefs-Grams and Lyssie!

She's going for it! Claire's adorable cakes were designed and made with love by Heidi and Lyssie!

She was dancing and appeared to love being the center of attention!

Auntie Lyssie took such good care of her Claire Bear!

The girls!

The Godparents

She did great and was very calm at the doctors office. We get to say goodbye to formula and hello to whole milk! What a treat!

Birthday celebration continued at home

Claire loves walking around with her Papo.

Tired out after a long day of travel! Claire was a good girl (mostly) on the trip home. Grammie and Papo brought Claire flowers, balloons, a birthday book and a cupcake to celebrate the big 1!

Claire's Mexian Fiesta B-day Dinner!

We had a lovely dinner on our last night in Cabo. We celebrated Claire's birthday with her Pamma and Grandpa Dennis. Posing!

Whoa, someone is ready to party!

Claire was serenaded by a Mexican trio and was also presented with flan. She didn't care for it, so we enjoyed it for her! She was a bit tired by the end of the night.

Claire loved Cabo!

The famous arch! The dinner cruise was so much fun and a much appreciated night out. Thanks to Pamma and Grandpa Dennis for babysitting Claire and Maddie. The only pic of Claire and me at the pool, taken by moi!

Cute baby girl!

Playing with her dad in the shallow part of the pool.

Bathing beauties. Maddie appears to be having a bit more fun than Claire!

Claire enjoying the beautiful view of the Pacific ocean.

Claire beating up on her Uncle!

Claire loved the music in Mexico! She developed her signature dance move there and it's hilarious!

Only 1 out of 5 is actually looking at the camera, thanks Matt!
