5th Birthday Fun!

We had fun celebrating Miss Claire Bear as a family after church on Sunday.  Claire picked a restaurant to have lunch at and chose the 'one that has that hummus platter.'  :)  She also decided that instead of having a birthday party this year, she wanted to make a build a bear and ride the train at the mall.  Sweet.. no party prep for this preggo mama!  She had so.much.fun and I loved doing something special as a family for her.









                                   Happy birthday girl with her hummus platter!


                                       Build a bear fun!





                          Fluffing the bear's fur

   Picking out clothes and getting 'Princess Bear' dressed

                           Happy builders!

           After build a bear, the girls and Daddy got to ride the train around the mall.




On her actual birthday, Claire requested breakfast in bed...She wanted four mini donuts on a tray and requested that we wake her up by yelling 'surprise' and then singing Happy Birthday.  This girl knows what she wants!  ;)



She brought cake batter rice crispy treats to school to share with her class and her teachers let her wear a birthday crown and be the line leader... sweet!



We had Swedish pancakes with strawberries for dinner... per Claire's request.  She also picked out a fancy cake and we sang happy birthday and ate cake with our friends who came over for small group that night.







So thankful for this five year old and the opportunity to celebrate her!
