Tinkerbell

Our little Tinkerbell A little Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust!!!!
Give Claire and Max a bowl of water and you get lots of smiles!!!

Tinkerbell needed to slide before we went to the church festival.

No! I didn't plan for Claire to have two different halloween costumes. She has been saying that she was going to be Tinkerbell for Halloween since this summer and we even bought the Tinkerbell costume in August....type A planner personality, I know. However, no matter how much I plan things don't always go the way I expect, so we found ourselves at the grandparents house an hour away and Tinkerbell was at our house....with gas prices what they are it didn't make sense to drive home to get Tinkerbell and I knew Claire could wear it Sunday night at church....so Friday morning I had to come up with a costume for Friday evening festivities. I remembered Cracker Barrel having cute costumes, so off I went, that is where we found our little Ladybug, half price as a matter of fact! I just love my little Ladybug and Miss Tinkerbell!!! She is perfect!

Trick or Treat 2010

Just a couple of pictures from Halloween weekend....more to come!Star struck meeting Dora and Elmo....complete shock and smiles!

Our little ladybug....sweetest bug in the whole wide world!

Hog Call!!!

Wooo Pigg Soiee Razorback Pigg....Cow! Claire's version, we have no idea why she started adding Cow to the end of calling the Hogs! Funny Girl!

John Deere Girl

Our little John Deere Girl turned TWO last week and boy did we celebrate!!! Our family and some close friends gathered at Nene and Papaw's house for a Pink John Deere party! Exactly our Miss Claire and all the Tinkerbelle gifts were an extra plus! The kids had a blast playing in a jump house that we borrowed, playing on the REAL John Deere tractor, eating cupcakes and ice cream cones and who could forget the hot dogs and cheese dip....two of Claire's favorites! It was a wonderful party and we were so HAPPY and thankful for our family and friends who helped us celebrate our true little toddler!!!

Claire is 2!

Getting ready to go to school on her 2nd Birthday, October 7, 2010!!!
She wanted a picture riding her horse too!

Opening a birthday present on her actual birthday....a Tag, Jr. She loves it!

...but not as much as her playground!!!!

8:24pm exactly 2 years old

Claire managed to play with Tink and her tractor during her "exactly" 2 year old minute; which describes her to a tee! She loves Tinkerbelle and Tractors!

She got to pick what she wanted for dinner...her favorite Pizza!!! So off to Pizza Hut we went. She made a new little friend that night and they had a blast running wild, dancing, skipping...I normally would never let my child run wild in a restaurant but it was her birthday and she laughed and smiled the whole time Could Not Have Been Any Happier!!....and sometimes we are just suppose to stop and smell the roses! (I so wish I had pictures) Hope you had a wonderful 2nd Birthday baby girl!!!

The Big 2 year old party up next!
