Happy Birthday to Clare! We celebrated with a small family dinner on her actual birthday, and a bigger party extravaganza over the weekend. I had big plans for a wading pool and sprinklers, but the weather had other ideas so we had a BBQ and nice family party.
Clare went down for a late nap and when she woke up the party was in full swing. She was a little overwhelmed by the balloons, people, presents, etc. but soon relaxed and enjoyed the festivities.
Clare’s favorite treat – angel food cake with whipped cream and berries.
“Hey, Dada’s eating my cake!”
“Silly Dada!”
Sitting the wrong way on her new picnic table from Grandma and Grandpa. Hey, it’s her birthday, she can do it if she wants to.
This is when she first saw the climber – her gift from Mom and Dad.
Clare and her buddies Kadie and Violet on the climber (beautiful pictures by their talented father David). At one point we had 4 kiddos climbing, sliding and enjoying it. We joked that we reached maximum toddler capacity.
