This is one wild party thanks to Aunt Rachel!

Yum!

make a wish....


One gorgeous (almost) 6 year old!


He's getting so grown up and handsome- doesn't he look just like his Dad?!


Happy Birthday to Claire!


Brett's turn...the trick candles didn't work very well much to my dismay!


Happy Birthday Thompson children!


Claire's present from Nan and Papa (Sarah has one at her house and Claire loves it!)

Claire turned 3 on March 29th. We had a birthday party for Brett and Claire together with Dan's family (we are trying a new thing with my family- doing a BIG party for all of the grandkids in the summer). Here are some pictures of the fun- we had that party on Dan's birthday (poor guy- after you turn 21, I think birthdays lack excitement anyway- right?!). Then we gave Claire her gift from us on her birthday morning and celebrated again that evening...the celebrations seemed to go on and on!! Never a bad excuse, right. Now Brett can't wait for his ACTUAL birthday (April 28th) as he's been telling me he's 6 now "since he already had his birthday party!" Love the logic of a 5 1/2 year old!!

March is here and almost gone!







Well- I was about to title this post, March is here...and I realized it's almost over already! It has been a whirlwind month. Claire got glasses, Dan and I went to California for 5 days for a work trip and the kids and I went to Chicago for 5 days to meet my sister's new baby, Maggie Lynn. And we'll round out the month with Dan and Claire's birthdays....It's been a great month!
