Clare's is five!

Five minutes at the Jump Around Fun Zone and Clare's
face was already beet red. She had so much fun!

Pleased.

Found adorable Alyssa checking out the cake while the others
bounced and slid.

Xander's note for Clare on the chalkboard in the party room.

Oh, look: I actually remembered to ask someone
to take a photo of us!

Clare hasn't quite got the hang of blowing out the candles.

A little instruction from Daddy.

Almost! (LOVE her bangs blowing straight up here.)

There it is.

After the party, we played with all the new toys and games
with Jessica and Henry.

Bedtime story.

Sunday morning: Officially five!

We headed to Rocket Donuts for breakfast
while Michael stayed home and quickly put
together some of Clare's new toys.

Then we all headed to Lake Padden to enjoy the sunshine
and let Clare play with her new basketball from Xander.

We also hung around Fairhaven...

...and had pizza at Clare's favorite restaurant.

She finished up the day with Michael's chocolate mousse,
which she's been requesting as her birthday treat for several weeks.

Taken this morning: Her first full day as a five year old!
