We started off celebrating Clara's 12th birthday with her friends on Friday night. Brynn made an amazing cake that fit right into the literature theme. Prepping for the nature-themed family party on Saturday. Sandwich Snake! Birthday baked oats on her actual day on Sunday. Micah was just returning from a family vacation during Clara's friend party, so he came over on Sunday to swim in Clara's pool with her and bring her a birthday gift. And then we all went out to eat at Olive Garden per Clara's request. Adding white chocolate, not cheese, onto the cake. ;-) We love you so much, Clara, and are so proud of you and everything you've accomplished, learned and tried this past year. 💜
Before we left on our Yellowstone trip, we went to the Trollwood production of Frozen at Bluestem with Micah and his mom. It was fantastic. Last week Farm in the Dell held Pizza in the Dell which featured one of our favs, Blackbird Pizza, in addition to live music, ice cream treats, tours of the farm, and build-your-own bouquets. It was a great time. Clara took her money from her 'donation cup' to give.
