On April 8, Claire turned two - how is that possible?!? Robert worked with her all week, and when you ask her how old she is, she'll say "Two!" and flash her fingers - she's having a little trouble holding up just 2, but she tries. :)
Since we were having her party on Saturday, we kept her actual birthday on Thursday pretty low-key. We took cupcakes to school, and her teachers told me that she enjoyed three of them. :) We gave her a couple of small gifts, and she was very excited about her new bath boat and her card from Aunt Sheila that played "Part of Your World" from "The Little Mermaid".

Friday morning we were up bright and early to head to DFW. After lunch at the Reata, we made our annual visit to the Main Street Arts Festival in Fort Worth. We found a couple of small things, visited the Water Gardens, and then fit in a ride on the mini train. The ride was about 45 minutes long, and we weren't sure how Claire would do, but she loved it and didn't get restless until the last 5-10 minutes. We will definitely ride it again.
Afterwards we visited with Robert's Granddaddy and Grandmommy and had dinner with them before heading to Arlington for the night.
Saturday was Party Day. My friend Courtney's son Pierce was born a few days after Claire, so this year we decided to have a joint birthday party for them at the Dallas Children's Museum. We had such a great time!
Someone didn't want to cooperate for a photo of the birthday boy and girl...
A little skeptical
After cake and ice cream, we let them all loose in the museum to run off the sugar
We were able to have lunch with Courtney's family and the French family. Claire was Not Happy when Pierce decided to come sit by me. Check out the look on that little face - so funny!
That evening Ma & Bob had a small get together to celebrate the birthdays of Claire, Robert, Bob, and one of their friends. Ma organized a fun balloon game for Claire, and after dinner Claire was very excited by her Little People Doodle Pro.
It was full weekend, and we had so much fun celebrating sweet Claire's birth!

I'm so pleased to know that Claire
likes her Birthday card! Give her a
BIG hug & kiss from me!
Claire has such a sweet smile in that first picture in her car. So glad she had such fun birthday celebrations (and got to enjoy three cupcakes). I'll echo Sheila--give her hugs and kisses from us too.
