Claire is 6

Claire turned 6 on April 8th, and we got to celebrate a few times.  :)  We started the day by letting her open her present from Aunt Lala & Uncle Robert - it had come the day before, and I convinced her to wait until her actual birthday to open it.

That afternoon Robert and I took cupcakes to Claire's class.  She initially told us that she didn't want us to come (she is still somewhat bashful when all of the attention is on her!), but we didn't want her to end up being disappointed that she didn't get to celebrate with her class, so we went up there anyway, and she was glad we came.  The class sang "Happy Birthday" to her, and they all enjoyed their treat.

We let Claire pick a place to go out for dinner, and she wanted sausage, so we had a family dinner at Blanco BBQ.  Nana, Grandmommy, and Aunt Carol's family were able to join us.  We had a great time at dinner, and Claire loved all of her presents.

Robert and I got her the number one thing on her list - a tablet.  She was excited, and she has been very responsible in caring for it.  We were glad we could give her something that she enjoys so much!IMG_2472

We went back home and had cupcakes leftover from the school celebration.  Will shared one with his favorite dragon.
