Claire for months had been saying she wanted a Jasmine party. Well, when I started looking and planning I couldn't find much, so I persuaded her to have a ice cream party and she was all for it! She invited four little friends, but only two were in town. I let her pick out the balloons, table cloths and colors of things.
The party favors had salt water taffy, ice cream shaped bubbles, pink chap stick and ice cream stickers.
Cupcakes in a cone that look like ice cream.
Claire had a special outfit to wear for the party. It said "We all scream for ice cream."
The decor...
Pin the cherry on the ice cream cone--she loved this!
They decorated their own party hats with ice cream stickers.
Height: 38 1/4 in.--75%
Weight: 35 lbs. 8 oz.--75-90%
There isn't a day that goes by that Claire doesn't make me laugh! She says the funniest things! The other day she prayed for Mom to be patient. She's always telling me to be patient because that is what I tell her. She loves animals! She can't walk--it's always running from here to there. She falls multiple times a day. She has the first and second Article of Faith memorized. She knows the Books in the Book of Mormon. She idolizes her big sister and knows just what buttons to push. She still takes one nap in the afternoons and hates going to bed at night...we hear often "Just one more story, I promise!"--about five times! She has quite the imagination and will play all by herself. She loves pasta, broccoli, green beans, yogurt, chocolate, hot dogs. She loves gymnastics and dance. She loves Evelyn and always wants to hold her. Her favorite names for Evelyn are "Cutie-Pututie", "Chubby-chubby cheeks", "Angel", "Sweet-heart". She loves to play outside and loves her Papa and her Grandma. She blesses her Papa faithfully and is always talking about Grandma and all the things she did with her and that she lives way far away. She can't wait for her Daddy to come home from work and play with her. She loves stories. She doesn't like sitting in the cart or staying close to mom in the store. She touches everything "check this out Mom". She wants to go to McDonalds every day and sometimes at about 7:30 p.m. she'll say she wants a pepperoni pizza. Out of the blue about 3 times a day she'll turn to me and say "I love you Mom". We love Claire and are so happy that she is part of our family!
Check out those chubby, chubby cheeks!
And now this dress is no more as I washed it (it was Madison's) and it turned everything purple and ruined the dress as it was supposed to be dry cleaned...completely forgot to look at the tag. Also, her clogged tear duct cleared up this week on Tuesday night while I was at a Presidency meeting and Chris was babysitting. It's been so nice that she no longer as a goopy eye!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet three year old!
Presents!!! Before her friend could come in the door she would take the present and sit on the fireplace.
Claire's 3 year old stats:
She got a new Dora electric toothbrust--absolutely thrilled! We must have brushed our teeth about 6 times that evening.
