Feelin' Alive at 25!



The Red Barns celebrated Claire's 25th birthday throughout the week leading up to July 22nd. Earlier that week, the redheads headed over to Phillip's parents house, where his family presented their favorite teacher with a mini-fridge for her classroom. Two days before her birthday, Claire's parents, brother and grandparents came to the Casa de Red Barns for a few mexican beers before heading over to P.F. Chang's China Bistro. Throughout the week, Claire was extremely moved by the warmth and love from all of her family, those present and those absent.

On the big day, Claire was greeted with her new favorite breakfast, "Eggs in a Basket," prepared for her by Chef Felipe. Her favorite part of the day was stopping by Facebook and her e-mail inbox to see all the wonderful birthday messages. In the morning, it was off to Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, a waterpark in Arlington, where the Red Barns baked in the hot Texas sun while riding a few water rides. In the evening, the two showered up and headed out to dinner at Uncle Julio's Mexican Restaurant with friends, Amanda and Kyle.

On top of getting a mini-fridge, Claire also received a new iPod player, some cashola, wine, a yoga kit, a Motorola bluetooth and an iTunes gift card.
