Here's to another 60 more!

Dave surprised me with a dinner out at the Melting Pot.
 It was delicious! 

Claire turns 2!

Can you believe it? I'm a bit behind on my blogging as she turned two over a month and half ago. Better late than never... right? We had a small birthday party at our home and included all of Claire's favorite people. Thank you to everyone who came and helped us celebrate.

I don't claim to be a super party planner but these
homemade cupcakes and toppers turned out pretty good. 

Grandma Debbie and Papa Dean got Claire an easel.
Fun times ahead!

This was suppose to be a cute idea. Brownie bites in the shape of a number 2.

How on earth do you get them out?

Showing off her new pony 

I order all the decorations online. One click and it came with everything. Free shipping. So Easy!

Daddy's boots from when he was little.

Giving "thank you hugs"

Tucker and his balloon

Enjoying "Happy Birthday Muffins". I think was her third
possible fourth one. Thank goodness they were minis.

Opening presents

Claire got new panties and princess pjs!
She just HAD to put them on... quite the fashionista.

Thank you Grandpa Dan Reiman and Grandma Debbie Gallino for sharing your pictures with me. Once again I didn't take any and without you there wouldn't be any to put up on the blog.

Painting

Claire loves to paint. It is one of the first things she likes to do at daycare and at our parenting class. We have been lucky enough these last couple weeks of summer to be able to be outside; which makes the setup and clean up much easier. I guess when the rain comes we will figure out something else as Grandma Debbie is getting her an easel for her birthday.
