Meeting Thomas!

Mandie stayed the night after the funeral of Anne's Dad and the next day we went to church and then to Meet Thomas. We even got to meet Sire Topham Hatt as well!

Emily showed Thomas her Percival tattoo she had gotten earlier and both girls waved at him!! Amelia was also super excited to see him!:)

Thomas in all his glory!:)

Renaissance Faire

We decided to take a Sunday and visit the Renaissance Faire in Bristol, WI. Thanks to my brother who scored us some free tickets!! Emily really wanted to see an elephant since our zoo currently doesn't have any and she was super excited to actually ride on it!!We met a princess and had a chat....
....and rode on Dad's shoulders so we could see everything! Emily and Claire loved cheering for Sir Gregory in the Joust tournament!
The pony rides were super fun and long... (complete with the llama they named Osama Bin Llama:))
Claire loved waving as Emily came around and around!:)

Claire's First Birthday

We enjoyed celebrating Claire's First Birthday on vacation in Lancaster, PA with my Mom and Dad, and brother and sister's families. Claire loved her cake!

This is good!!

She couldn't wait and stuck her finger right in the cake!

The ballons kept popping so she wasn't thrilled about that!:)

A happy little girl at the Hershey chocolate factory that morning!

I am ONE!!!
