We finally had a weekend in Hoboken and it ended up being a great one. Mom & Dad came down since Claire was having her last birthday party. We scored big time on the 4th when Dad managed to get us into a party at the Hyatt in Jersey City. Not only did this mean that we were in a perfect spot to watch the fireworks, but it wasn't crowded at all, there was lots of yummy food, music, and most importantly open bar! Here are Dan & Claire getting ready to head out for the festivities
Great job Dad - you did good with this one. Don't you look excited?
Claire was just happy they had graham crackers......and bubbles, and hot dogs, and steak, and juice boxes, and everything else that could make her happy. But she really loves the graham crackers and juice boxed. She even figured out how to suck through the straw for the first time :-)
And we can't complain about the view. This is downtown Manhattan. See all the people on the pier? Lucky for us, on the deck, we didn't have to worry about the crowds.
And today Claire had her last birthday party. I probably would not have had a party in Hoboken, but the group of ladies I met in the Hoboken new mother support group decided to have one big party. So the 6 Mommys planned the party for the 6 kiddos. We had a great time. Doesn't Claire look like she is up to no good?
Just a quick pose for the camera
And here are all Claire buddies, the birthday kids - Holden (the lone guy), Charley, Claire, Avery, Hannah, and Brooke. Claire is the oldest (June 20th) and Hannah is the baby (July 15th). The girls all had the same shirt that said Birthday Girl, with a big 1 on the back.
Well, that was our weekend - I know someone in Vermont must have taken pictures. Time to share..
