Claire's birthday

We decided to take Claire to Knott's Berry Farm for her birthday instead of having a party. She chose all the rides and went on her favorites over and over. The carriage ride was not her favorite - the horses were too large and pungent, but we got a nice family photo with the Knott's employee we recently adopted. On the actual day of her birthday we decorated the house with streamers, balloons and decorated paper plates (Audrey was envious because on her birthday she only had posters custom-made by daddy at work with the super-sized printer and Claire got paper plates because at the last minute we forgot the customized posters and had to improvise). Claire chose her meals: pancakes for breakfast, I can't remember lunch, and Ikea meatballs for dinner. She wanted a pink three-layer cake with sprinkles and lots of presents. All her dreams came true.
