Claire turns one!

Claire's first birthday was yesterday! I can't believe it. We have her a birthday cupcake on Saturday but she wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. We tried again last night on her actual birthday and she ate some of the icing but was nothing like her sister on her first birthday. Maggie couldn't get it in her mouth fast enough.

The move is over thankfully and the house is starting to come back together. It was so nice to be able to leave the house yesterday morning and be at the girls' school five minutes later. Very exciting for us!

Here are some pictures.
