Happy Birthday Claire Bear!

Our big girl is two, but she says "I'n a baby" if asked about the whole thing. We are having cake & ice cream with our families tomorrow so today we had a day with just the four of us. In these photos you will notice something different about Claire--SHE GOT HER CAST OFF! To spare the details, we took her to the doctor Wednesday and they rexrayed it and did not find a break. Hallelujah! The doctor did call yesterday to say the radiologist report found some inflammation in the shin area suggesting a healing injury but she is walking okay so we will just keep an eye on her.

We took Claire to Build-A-Bear and Rainforest Cafe for her birthday. She was so cute picking out a horse, which she named "Neeah" (neigh) and the outfit for her hosey.

"Bathing" her horse

What is notable in the photo is that Claire has the horse's shoes on. She insisted on wearing them and kept them on until we were on her way home. I even questioned her about them as I was changing her diaper and she said "no, my shoes."

She fits right in!

She was a bit "concerned" when the animals started moving at dinner, especially since Danny said "they're coming" but she got used to them after a while.

Best birthday meal ever--pizza and milk:)

We told Carter that we would get a chocolate volcano for dessert but we were too full so we bribed him with the purchase of balloon animals and a ride on a little car outside of the restaurant. Here we attempted to take a picture of them with the elephant and butterfly:

Claire climbed in another car and wanted to go for a ride again. I told her we didn't have money. She quickly replied "I have money" and started digging in her pockets. I said "where is it?" She said, "hiding." Our girl is TOO smart, TOO passionate, TOO reckless, TOO fun, TOO kissable, TOO sweet, TOO busy, and TOO caring. Happy Birthday to our TWO year old! We love you!
