Circle S Farms

Once we take our annual trip to Circle S Farms, it can officially be fall again.  We spent the evening of October 10th  with our friends, the Neeley's, riding hayrides, running through the pumpkin patches to find the best pumpkins, and eating donuts.  It was so fun and festive. 
 Claire won't go ANYWHERE without her purse, but this night she instantly handed over her donut when she thought she could only hold that or her purse when we were loading onto the hay ride.  She loves her sweets but apparently loves her purse more!

Claire's 2nd birthday party

We didn't really throw a party for Lucy until she was 3, and we didn't feel like we needed to have one for Claire's 2nd birthday this year, but we knew she would just LOVE having people there to sing to her.  So we invited a few neighbors over who Claire knows and loves just for cake and ice cream, and of course they stayed and watched her open some presents too.  Claire had so much fun, which was exactly what we were hoping for!
 Before the neighbors came over, we had one of Claire's favorites for dinner: ribs. She loves her meat!
 She liked them so much, she had to suck the meat right off the bone!
 She's not mad here, she's saying "Ahhh!" to show me how much she likes her ribs.
Emma, Claire, Mason, Lucy, & Hudson.
 Lucy got Claire this big old Minnie Mouse stuffed animal from Costco.  Lucy was as excited to give it to Claire as Claire was to receive it.  So fun to see both sides of it with these sisters.
 I didn't know what to get Claire, so I took her to Target before her birthday and saw which toys she wanted to play with the most.  It turned out to be a pretty decent method because Claire loved all of the toys she got.
