Happy 1st Birthday, Claire Elise!






Our little girl is one today! Last year at this time we were at the hospital & entering the new role of parenthood. Time flies, and every parent I meet tells me this, but until you experience it for yourself you don't know how true it is. Elise arrived at 12:09pm June 11, 2007 & we have certainly been blessed to call her our little girl. We had her 1st birthday party with friends on Saturday & Grandma June was here for the week to celebrate, too. Her party theme was pink & green polka dots. She was very dainty when she ate her little patty cake - just dipped her finger tips in the icing and tested it out again and again! (She was awake until 10:30pm that night, so we know not to give her icing too close to bedtime again.) It was about 98 degrees outside & 85 degrees in the house that day - our air conditioning couldn't keep up with the high temps and extra bodies in the house, so thank you to all our friends who put up with warm temps to celebrate with Elise!! She received so many fun gifts & enjoyed a birthday wagon ride with her new canopy.
