After an afternoon of running through the sprinklers, splashing in the inflatable pool, and eating mac and cheese, Claire was opening presents.  She had only one left to open.  Instead, she put it down and dashed to the aforementioned inflatable pool.  Daddy was too slow to give chase and Claire jumped in, leading the charge of all the other kids who were tired of sitting and watching the present thing anyway.  

In short, she had a good time.  

My mom also had a good time, both at Claire's party and her own.  She was like a little kid herself at Disney's California Adventure.  It almost brought a tear to my eye.  

And then there are the leftovers.  We will all be eating Mac and Cheese for the rest of the week.  And if anyone needs a GIGANITC bag of chips, I think I have about 5 extra.  Just drop me an email!
