Happy 1st Birthday Claire!!!

Wow, we can't believe our little sweetie is already one year old!!! This year has gone by so fast and it's been wonderful to watch Claire grow up. She is jabbering up a storm, took a few steps a couple of weeks ago (but she isn't consistent), has 4 teeth with one more coming in, her hair is getting longer by the day, and she is getting more and more adorable!!!! We just love her so much!!!

We had her birthday party last week and it was a lot of fun. Jeff cooked some great food and worked really hard to make the party a lot of fun...he's a planner!!!! I love it! These beautiful pictures were taking by Brandon Zamucen and if you want his number let me know. He did such a great job!!!! He is also going to take our family pics this Friday, I'm so excited!!!

We have a lot of exciting things happening this summer (swim lessons, vacations, etc.) so I will keep you updated!

Update Finally!

It's been such a long time since I've posted but we've been busy, busy, busy!!!! Here are some pics of Valentines through Easter (my sister-in-law knew of this bunny statue in Chandler so we HAD to get Audrey and Claire's pictures taken with it!!!) and her first day at Little Gym. More to come soon...

Christmas!!!

I know this is almost a month late but...better late than never! ha!!! Jeff and I had such a great Christmas, with Claire and our families. We spent Christmas Eve with my parents and my brother's family, then we had our own family Christmas on Christmas Day. It was sooo cute seeing Claire try to open her presents! She didn't really care about the actual present...it was the tissue paper and that crinkling noise it made! She loved that sound! The next day we left for Illinois to see Jeff's family. It was great! We had a White Christmas!!!! It was actually snowing when we got off the plane, I just loved it. We had a lot of fun just spending time with all of our cousins, nieces, and nephews. Claire also got to play in the snow, which she liked doing. She was so cute to watch. Too bad that our fun two weeks off had to end and we had to go back to work, but here are some pics from our break...

Claire has been invited to several birthday parties this year and being her mom I get to go with her to them!!!! I just love little kid birthday parties and we have had a lot of fun celebrating with our friends. Here are some pics of the fun times..

Claire's first Thanksgiving!

We are having such a fun time with Claire and all of the holidays and it keeps just getting better!! Thanksgiving was so wonderful I loved having all of my family together! (I wish that we could have spent it with Jeff's mom and dad as well but Christmas is just around the corner and we will be there in about 4 weeks!!! yeah!!!) We had Thanksgiving at my brother's house this year, which was great. Here are some fun pics of us with Claire, who is 6 months old already. It's going by so fast!
