Claire always has a blast at Mom's house - especially in the backyard with all the kids' toys. It was great to see Ren enjoy it all too.
We had a lot of fun indoors too with all the neat things my mom has. Ren especially loved the tiny baseball hats one of my older brothers collected years ago. He kept passing them out to his aunts, uncles and cousins and motioning for us to put them on our heads.
At dinner time, I was surprised to see Claire and Ren quickly claim the little table their slightly older cousins usually dine at. The older ones were probably happy to graduate to the adults' table and leave my kiddos to enjoy the baby table.
It was Claire's third birthday that day and we were already on our second party (the first one having taken place in the morning with Paul's side of the family). Here's Ren, Mia and Claire enjoying the cake, with Grandma looking on:
And finally, Grandma K. with all the grandkids who were home for Easter:

Happy 3rd Birthday, Claire! Two birthday parties in one day?! You really must be a celebrity!
I laughed when I read about Ren wanting everyone to put on the little baseball hats, and he looks so cute with his headgear.
You sure packed a lot of visiting into a few days. And to follow it up with 3 blog posts -- I'm impressed with your stamina!
Sounds like a wonderfully busy visit. Ren and Claire look so happy to be with their extended family.
Two birthday parties! Woo hoo! Happy Birthday Claire. Maeve welcomes you to the 3 year old club.
I love the photo of a proud grandma with her grandkids.
Ren looks like he's grown since you came home. I bet he loved meeting all of his new relatives.
