The family spent Valentines Day the best way possible, helping our friends' the
Defreece family celebrate
Devin's first birthday! Claire had a BLAST, laughing and playing with the boys. She even took 4
independent steps to get a toy. I guess watching the "older" boys toddle around gave her some incentive!! Mommy took over 100 hundred pictures, so you can imagine how hard it was to narrow the bunch down. Here are some of our
favorite shots from the day. There will be more to come when Aunt May sends her pictures to us as well.

Devin, the birthday boy!

Isabella and Claire playing with the party balloons

Claire and
Colton meeting for the first time

"I'll be right back Mommy, just wanna see what the big kids are doing upstairs....."

"
Mmmmm, tasty."

"
Ok Devin, you smile and distract them and I will make a break for it."

Their first dance!!

Claire and
Colton
"Hi there
Colton....
whatcha looking at?"

Aren't they as cute as a button?

What a beautiful cake!!!!

Devin was much more interested in playing than eating.
Who wouldn't be?

Claire's first bites of cake

I swear to you, this picture was taken five minutes into the trip home.
Claire was much too busy for a nap during the day. She slept all the way home(1.5 hrs), ate some dinner and thankfully slept from 7:45 until 5 this morning.
