This year Claire wanted a "Charlotte's Web" themed birthday party. It was a bit of a challenge as the only thing that kept coming to my mind was pulled pork sandwiches. Well, that wouldn't do! So we put our heads together and came up with a menu and some decorations that she was happy with.
We had Aunt Melissa, Grandpa & Grandma Puplis and Grandpa & Grandma Rosen over for a Saturday morning breakfast.

A few weeks later, we celebrated Claire's and Sylvia's
birthdays together with the Sternberg family.
This was truly a kid's party. The parents prepared their favorite foods
while the kids handled the decorating.
More gifts!

She even took her game to school with her on Monday to use for her math lesson.
