When Claire turned one, we had her pictures taken. In the past we have always been rushing last minute, so this time I made sure we got their early - too early. Somehow we were there an hour early! Don't ask me how - I am not used to everything like traffic all going in my favor. For an adult, an hour would not be a big deal. For a child who has about a twenty-minute zone of happiness without snacks, this is a problem. And I certainly didn't want to give her snacks that would get her white shirt messy for her photos. Not to mention once you start feeding this girl, there is no stopping. We barely managed, with the period of cute happiness expiring right when it was time for photos, but all things considered, it could have been worse. Here are the shots we got:
Gabby wanted to join in for a couple of pictures. She forgot to smile and I was so busy trying to keep Claire in the frame, that I forgot to actually tell Gabby to smile.
I tried to be creative, but Claire (who insisted on wearing this hat for the first hour while we were waiting) would have no more of it.
But she did not complain when I handed her a real cupcake....
Thanks, sweet Claire, for always making us smile!

Glad she waited til the end to have the cupcake ;)
Did I catch a glimpse of her Great Grandpa Jensen under that hat?!
What a cutie. Those turned out great- what an ordeal though. But she is cute and the party was awesome so you have received your awesome mom points :)
