Happy Birthday Maddie! (and Flyers Round 2)

Last weekend Claire got to go to her first birthday party...for her big cousin Maddie.  She had lots of fun hanging out with Nana...

And Aunt Colleen & Uncle Chad...

And all of her cousins.

We sang happy birthday to the newest 4 year old.

And watched her blow out her candles.

While hanging out with big cousin Erin.

After cupcakes, Claire helped Maddie open some presents.

Mostly because she wanted to eat all of the paper and boxes.

Then she had a few laughs with Uncle Chad.

Before we got all bundled up and ready to head home.

First birthday party a success.  Happy Birthday Maddie!  We love you!

Last week we also got to take Claire to her second Flyers game.  It was REALLY cold on our way there.

Claire must've forgot about the last game we went to because she couldn't get over all of the people.

 Woah.

Once inside, Claire was amazed yet again by all of the lights on the big TV.  I seriously don't think she blinked for a whole minute.

Finally distracted her.

She had lots of fun with Mommy & Daddy (please ignore my huge face and big bags under my eyes...guess someone needs more sleep).

It was the first time Claire was out past her bedtime since Savannah (and we all know how well she did with that ha) so we were a little nervous she might have a breakdown but luckily, she was a doll baby.  She made it all the way to the middle of the 3rd period when the Flyers were losing 3-0 (I think Daddy was more ready to leave than Claire).  Still happy as a clam when we were leaving at 9:30pm....guess Claire doesn't mind staying up late for the Flyers :)
