happy birthday claudia!

It's funny how you think that motherhood is the only phase in your life where you get to say "where did the time go?" I found out yesterday that it also applies when you're a grandparent. Our little Claudia turned three and I'd swear it was just a few months ago that a little six pound squirming mass of arms and legs was held out to me to see for the first time. And now she's this absolutely gorgeous blue eyed blonde who is articulate, intelligent and a royal pain in the ass for her parents. (But *not* for her grandparents. Don't you just love karma???)

The party was yesterday. The theme was The Hungry Caterpillar and we all got to feast on caterpillar cupcakes (Are you seeing a pattern in this family? Cupcakes turned into boobs, cupcakes turned into caterpillars. Clearly no cupcake is safe around us) and we drank "bug juice" with dinner. The food was great, the company was wonderful and all the kids behaved. We couldn't have asked for more.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart. Grandma loves you with all her heart.





The birthday girl.

Claudia didn't want to hit the pinata. (tree hugger in training) Her sister on the other hand had no qualms about beating the crap out of it.
