We are celebrating officially on Sunday with family, but here are some pics from the day in her tutu that I finally got around to making. An easy idea I got from Allison - take a piece of ribbon (my preference) or elastic and then cut strips of tuille - fold them in half and knot them over the elastic - like you would do with fringe on a scarf, if that makes sense. Then just keep going and pack all the strips in tight so it turns out really fluffy. On other versions I added ribbon using the same method and put pieces throughout the skirt, which was really cute.

Happy Birthday Claire!!! I love the tutu!!!
So did you not know what you were having until she was born? I never knew that. Maybe I should try that next time...maybe the excitement of finding out what the gender is will take away some of the exploding pain. Probably not.
Anyway, Happy Birthday cutest Claire!!!
Yep - we decided to not find out. It was all Matt's idea and at first I was really sad because I wanted time to decorate and get cute stuff, but the exact moment that we saw her and found out, it was worth it. I would recommend it at least once!
those are amazing photos - especially the last one. a very happy happy birthday claire!
Happy Birthday Claire! I can't believe she's already one! It seems like I was just going to your baby shower and she was so little! She is so adorable and I love the tutu! She'll be walking and talking in no time and before you know it, she'll be two! I swear this last year flew by way faster than the first with Nathan. Enjoy every minute!!
Happy Birthday Claire! I love the tutu I will have to try that. I can't believe that she is already one!
Happy Birthday to a beautiful baby girl! It's a happy and sad feeling all at the same time, isn't it? Where did that year go? Time flies with kids.
I think my girls would love the tutu. Thanks for the idea.
Happy Birthday Claire ~ beautiful tutu! I am going to have to try making one now. Time flys way too fast! :)
That Claire is way, way too cute!!!! Look out in a few years you will have your hands full with tons of guys knocking down your door!!!!!
Happy, happy, happy birthday Claire! We think you are ONE awesome little lady! (And extra adorable in your tutu!)
Those pictures are priceless! She's beautiful. Before she was born, did you ever imagine it was possible to be this happy? Isn't being a mother the most wonderful gift in the world?
I could never do that (not find out). Way to be patient. She is so beautiful. I love the tutu!
I love the tutu. You are so talented.
