Five Already!!!

Well this ice cream cake says it all!!! We are now the parents of a five-year-old. Claire informed us that she didn't want a cake for her birthday...just ice cream. We thought we were crazy when we asked her if she wanted an ice cream cake. She didn't believe us that there was such a thing.
She loved this ice cream cake. If you look closely she is trying to blow out the candles in the cake.
Since her party was at Chuck E. Cheese's (thanks Grandma Lois)...everyone got to enjoy the tokens and play some games. Thanks Aunt Terin for helping Mia enjoy the games as well!
Mia also wanted her turn with the birthday crown! This picture is one I just couldn't resist posting!
With Claire's birthday party she was able to go into the ticket blaster. Since she was so young they allowed me to get in with her and help her get tickets...this seemed like it would be easier than it was. You can't see anything with the glasses up what is in front of your face. It was a great time though and we had a lot of laughs.
Here we are after the ticket blaster showing off the tickets we got. Claire scored a 1050+ tickets in the ticket blaster (it helped that one of the tickets we got was worth 1000 tickets). She was so proud!
This isn't all the party kids, but most of them...some were a bit shy of posing with Chuck E Cheese. Claire had a great birthday party and we still can't believe she is FIVE!!! Where did the time go?

Happy Birthday to our oldest princess!!!
