Our baby girl is 1!

She wanted to sleep in, but mean ol' mommy woke her up with a camera flash. And daddy was singing "Happy Birthday Claire, this is your special day".

Slowly but surely we got a smile out of her!

She wasn't quite sure what to think about the fire on her rolls.

Then she opened up her present from mommy & daddy! A pretty charm bracelet with her name on it!

And we got a quick picture with the shrinking bear!

Claire is spending her birthday with Daddy, Gammy & Cousin Maddison at a cattle show in Bloomington. After a couple quick shopping stops they'll be home to help put the finishing touches on everything for the big party tomorrow.

*You may notice the large, red bump on her head! Let's just say that Claire hasn't mastered the stairs yet. She's a tough girl though!
