Happy Birthday Claudia!

Happy 5th Birthday Claudia!
We love you!
Mommy, Daddy and William


So.... Miss Claudia,

According to you, you celebrated 4 birthdays this year.

Your first birthday celebration was with your extended family.... grandparents, cousins and your favorite neighbors. The theme this year was "Tinkerbell"... until a few days before your party. Then you changed it to "Barbie". Lucky for you I did not purchase any of the party items or you might have been stuck with "Tinkerbell". We had your party on Labor Day which up being a beautiful day to celebrate.

Your second birthday celebration was on the actual day of your birthday. We went to lunch with Grandma and then later in the day Mimi and Papa came over for dinner. Instead of a cake, you asked for a pumpkin pie which you really enjoyed.

Your third birthday was at school with your classmates. You chose to bring in doughnut holes. Your teachers made you a crown, lit a huge candle and your classmates sang "Happy Birthday" to you.

And, finally, your last birthday was your friend birthday party (a first for you). You had your party at Jump Zone in Crown Point. A lot of your friends were there, including all "your girls". Everybody enjoyed jumping in the giant jumpies, eating pizza, cake and ice cream. You enjoyed opening up you gifts... lots of Barbies!

I almost forgot! You had a fifth birthday!! We went to Indianapolis for the weekend. We stayed downtown and met our Greensburg freinds at the Children's Museum. You and your friends had a great time playing together. I think your favorite exhibit was the "Barbie" one... dressing up, taking photos, walking down the catwalk, listeniong to the Mommies reminise about their old Barbies. Even the boys had a great time!

You really enjoyed all of your birthdays and are already making plans for next year!!!

I'd post pictures, but the camera died the day of your party :(
