It’s hard to believe that Alice & Claire turn 1 on Monday, September 28! The year has flown by!
Last Saturday, we celebrated their first birthday, as well as Frances’ nephew, Aaron’s. The weather was perfect for a party at Marc & Frances’ house in Emigration Canyon.
Uncle Ted, Aunt Jean, and Lisa came, as well as Aunt Dott, Misty, and Misty’s kids. Ryan enjoyed playing with them.
After we all ate, we had three different ice cream cakes to choose from, and cupcakes for the kids. Alice, Claire and Aaron blew out their candles (with help) and then REALLY enjoyed their cupcakes!
When most of the guests were gone, we gave our presents to the girls. I gave them two “camouflage princess” outfits, and Ryan gave them very bright stuffed lions. The girls both love to growl, so we thought that was appropriate. Alice, especially, loved the lions!
Rara and Papa gave the girls a great storage unit for their toys and books. Everyone was happy!
My favorite part of the day…when everyone was gone, I fed Claire her dinner. It was chicken with mixed vegetables. I said, “What does the chicken say?” and then started going, “Bock! Bock!” Claire thought that was hilarious. After I did it a few times, she started going, “Bock! Bock!” We laughed and laughed! Let it be remembered that Aunt Melanie taught her this important life lesson.
