Clara's 5th Birthday

Clara was anxiously awaiting her fifth birthday, counting down the days. She had chosen a rainbow theme for her party which was pretty fun.

Dana and I surprised her at school last Friday during their treats. Brynn was able to join as well.


Clara and her school buddies...and Brynn. :-)

She wanted to bring cupcakes for her birthday treat. Luckily I happened to find rainbow and unicorn ones at the store.


Clara wanted to go out to her fav restaurant for her birthday dinner. It was goood!

Auntie came to stay the night before the party and the girls were pretty excited to spend some extra time with her.

We had been saving our Scoopy Token coupons for a long time which scored the girls a kickball! They aired it up in the back for them and everything. Pretty awesome.

Getting ready for the party with some rainbow tats.


Cake done!




Our sweet birthday girl!



 She was such a riot when she was blowing out her candles.








We had to go full-blown rainbow and do the cake rainbow as well.






Clara's birthday was the first pinata we've ever had. It worked out really well to set it up out in the back garage. 


Ben had a lot of success unleashing the candy.



The girls' faces. Haha.

A couple attempts at a pic of all the kids.

We lost Clara on this one. :-/

Clara's friend (my BFF's daughter), Adria, was able to stay and play for a while once the party died down a bit. They had a fun time 'camping' with Clara's new set from uncle John and auntie Christel.


After we cleaned up from the party, we decided to go out for pasta at Carinos. 


Clara received make-your-own stickers from Adria and was totally into it. So fun.


Thank you to everyone who wished Clara a happy birthday and to those who were able to come celebrate with her. She told me the morning of her birthday that she still felt four, but now I think she's full-on feelin' five. :-) We love you, Fluffy Muffy.

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
