The highlight of our week has been the celebration of Claire and Chloe's Great Grandpa Ove's 90th birthday, (Papa's step-dad). We all attended a big party at Aunt Jen and Uncle Mark's house where there was wonderful food and lots of friends and family. Claire and Chloe dressed up in matching jumpers and had a good time with the guests. Above, they are checking out one of their favorite type toys, an empty plastic soda bottle.
Here is Great Grandpa Ove with two family friends, Kathryn on the left, in pink, and Ellie on the right. Ellie is aka "GG" to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Below is Great Grandpa with his children, including Claire and Chloe's Papa.
The next picture is Great Grandpa with all but three of his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Jon was fighting fires in So. California, sweet Becky lives in Chicago, and her brother Tim who lives in San Diego was unable to attend as well.
Chloe is seen here with Papa's cousin, Sara, and Claire is being held by Papa's cousin Melody.
After a busy day of travel and fun yesterday Claire and Chloe had a quiet day at home with Grandma. Here they are as they played. Also, below are two film clips of Chloe putting balls into the "laughing giraffe". She learned this skill a few months ago but today she dragged out the giraffe and played with it for some time. Not to be outdone, Claire also decided to use her dexterity.
