Is 3 posts for 1 birthday to many?

NOT WHEN THE BIRTHDAY GIRL IS THIS CUTE!!!!
( I made that hat, by the way)

After seeing how cute Claire was as a bumble bee on halloween I decided to go with a black and yellow bumble bee theme for her paty.  It was a lot of fun, Billy and I stayed up way to late the night before decorating cakes and making the bumble bee cake pops (that I loved by the way) I made them lemon flavored just for a change, yummy!! 

I wishI was a better rememberer, thats a word right?  I wish I had thought to get pictures of everyone who came but I didn't so here are the ones I did get. 

It is impossible to get a good picture of Claire now that she is mobile.  She does not sit still for a second so everything is always blurry. I tried.

The pinata.  I bought it and recovered it to match the theme. I just counted 16 pictures but I am pretty sure that one of the twins missed out on a picture somehow (Sophie, however, was pictured 3 times while hitting the pinata, I wonder who had the camera???) so there were 17 kids hitting that thing!  We started with Claire and went through all the kids there then finally let Jason hit it open!

The presents!  We got Claie that cute little chair she is sitting in an she was so cute in it!  She sat there and opened every present and really looked so interested in everything she got. She got way to much stuff but she really ddn't have any age appropriate toys so she is loving life now!

Ok, this was the hardest part.  I really have about 75 pictures (thanks again Joni) of Claire eating her cake and they are ALL cute so it was tough to chose.  If anyone feels like they missed out just let me know and I will post the rest.  Here are some cute ones...

She was dainty about it at first but she wasted no time.  Dove right in.

A little messiness did not bother her at all.

She was noticing the big crowd watching

She got a little more serious as time went on

see.

told you

I love this shot because it shows her frosting mascara :)

She finally picked it up

Yes, that is like half the cake stuck to her face. She totally did not even care.

I have really never seen a baby go at a cake like this girl did.  It just got more and more funny the more she ate.  I had to keep stopping her to clear a little airway for her to breathe, her nostrils were plugged up with cake.

We finally ended it and rinsed her in the sink before taking a full on bath.  Even while we were rinsing her she was rying to lick cake off her hands.  Cutest thing ever.  We all stood around laughing at her and she didn't even care, as long as the cake didn't go away.

The after party.
