We Celebrate Another Birthday!

Granddaughter Claire Elizabeth is twelve today -- and what a day she has had! Since we had gone shopping on her Mother's birthday, Claire wanted to do the same thing on hers. We made the rounds of several stores, The Gap, Old Navy and Macy's and managed to hit several pre-school sales.

Claire and her Dad both were in Merry Wives of Windsor tonight, so MM made a batch of cupcakes to take out to the amphitheatre for after the show. The cast and audience sang Happy Birthday to her as well. It was another chilly overcast day today, so Forry and I didn't go out to BlackRock. The family came over to our house after they returned home so that Claire could open her presents.

She had a pretty nice selection of presents -- including a speaker for her iPod.

And a really cute dress that we found at Macy's this afternoon -

Grammy and Grandpa had this picture made for Claire by a lady at the American Arabian Horse Show when we were in Scottsdale last winter. It has various "horsey" pictures that spell out her name.

Claire is our youngest grandchild. It is rather hard to believe she is already twelve years old. I guess we truly do not have any babies anymore!
