Celebrating Clara

Brad and I like to say that Clara has a good life. Her second birthday was no exception, Clara had a birthday-palooza. We started on her actual birthday on the 11th. We practiced singing Happy Birthday for a few weeks beforehand. Clara was excited when she actually got to fill in her name in the song on her big day.

We got her a play kitchen for her birthday which she LOVES. She is so excited to cook us food and sit down at her little table and eat it together. It's fun to watch her learn to play pretend.

She ended her birthday outside running through the sprinkler in her clothes. I love the simple joys of being a little kid.


A few days later we had her party. A couple months ago when we went to another birthday party, Clara told me she wanted to have "friends" at her birthday. So, we invited some friends (and lots of family!). It was a great night of hanging out with people we don't get to see often enough and celebrating our little girl.
My mom out did herself again with the treats. Why would I ever learn to bake when she does this?

Don't worry about Luke, he got plenty of attention

Clara was a little overwhelmed when everyone sang, but asked for the song "again" as soon as it was done.

We ended the night playing outside
. Many thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate. Clara is one lucky girl!
