Claire's 11th Birthday


We had Claire's 11th birthday party last Friday. I picked her and her friends up from school. I don't have a photo, but I decorated the car with streamers and helium balloons. And tied cans to the bumper to make noise. She loved the attention the car attracted at school.

We played a game called "cheese-head". We put whipping cream on a hat, and a partner had to throw cheese puffs at it. The winning team was the head with the most cheese puffs on it. Claire and her partner won.

Claire didn't want a cake and ice cream. She wanted Jello. So I bought Jello cups and added whipped cream and sprinkles to them. She is blowing out her candles here.

Claire and her friend Amy have made up nick names for each other. Claire calls Amy "cream puff" and Amy calls Claire " cheese puff". When it came time to open presents, this friend's card was as big as the gift. Claire opened it up and found a sign that read," to" taped to a bag of cheese puffs, and "from" taped to a box of cream puffs. That was as much fun as the gift itself.

At the party we decorated cork boards. The girls really took this assignment to heart, and did a terrific job on their boards. We clued buttons to push pins as well.

  1. You need to fix that "clued" in the last caption. It should probably say "glued".
