Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday.
We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party.
She looks so tall in some of these pics!
Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd.
And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express.
Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work.
Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on Friday and then Dana told me she was napping. We had to finally wake her up 10 minutes before her party guests were set to start arriving. Poor thing.
Table conversation was buzzing with talk about school starting and what teachers they were hoping to get.
Mmm, fondant!
Clara requested chicken legs for party lunch. Hubert made his homemade mac and cheese recipe and it turned out delish as usual.
After her own party on Saturday, she was off again to another birthday party for her friend Elizabeth. It was another overnighter, so of course this is how I found her when I got home from work on Monday. My sleepy little piggy. 💜 Turns out she and Dana have been battling a bit of a cold the past few days, but after a couple of of good nights' sleep, they are both doing much better.
Happy 10th birthday, Clara Rae! We love you so much! Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us and wished Clara a happy birthday.
