Claire Turns 7

This year was a no friend party year so Claire got to invite 2 friends to go get their nails done and out to eat.  We had some issues with scheduling so we ended up getting main/pedi's at 7:30 pm then going out for desert.  Claire loves being a princess and she had a blast.

She opened a few presents while we waited for our desert to come.  I love The Chocolate.  It's such a fun, fancy little shop so it was a perfect fit for her party. The girls all ordered cookies and a glass of milk.

They even put a candle in her cookie and we sang to her

It was a pretty late night and all the girls were exhausted by the time we got home.  But we drove up to the house we saw this crazy sign that Todd, the boys and the neighbors spray painted.  We loved it.

On Sunday we did our Schultz family party.  Every year we do a Cinco de Mayo party for her with a nacho bar and pinata - this year we got to include Clark in on the tradition. 

Then on Monday - her actual birthday we started the day with birthday pancakes.  She got to take Krispy Kreme donuts to her class and then we went out to eat as a family.  She chose The Golden Corral for her special dinner so I invited Timmy and Megan to join us.  Then she opened the rest of her presents.  She had such a fun birthday and it lasted all weekend long!

I love this beautiful girl so much.  It is crazy to me that she is already 7 and almost finished with first grade. She is growing up way too fast.  She loves Monster High and the Legend of Korra.  She cares about how her hair is fixed (always down straight and long) and what she's wearing.  She loves to sing and dance and is the pickiest eater around.  She is still very stubborn and loves to stay up late at night.  She is such a funny girl.  The other day I came out to the car and she was hanging out of the van door making crazy bird calls.  When I asked her what she was doing she said "I'm talking to that bird and asking him what his name is".  I asked if his name was Robin and she said "no I'm pretty sure he said it's just bird - I'm not that good at speaking bird but I'm pretty sure I know what he's saying".  Maybe being in the Portuguese immersion program isn't the best thing for her.  ha ha ha
