Eight!

Claire's eighth birthday celebrations have been spread over two days this year, since Tom and Eliza had to leave on a trip the night before her birthday. Saturday was full of birthday surprises from a string leading from her bedroom door to a guinea pig cage and fulfilling one of her big dreams of riding a horse....here are a few peeps....
