We celebrated Clara's birthday with a party. Molly, Janie, Stella, and Carmen from Clara's playgroup joined by long-time buddy Kierstin and our next-door neighbor Lula came over to enjoy the festivities. The kids played for awhile; then we had an Easter egg hunt in the backyard. Finally everyone enjoyed some tasty, yet sunken cupcakes! The festivities continued with a lunch out to the local BBQ hot spot, The Pit! Clara enjoyed some mac n' cheese and showed off her tutu. After lunch we opened a few presents before her much needed nap, but she didn't miss a beat upon awaking and opened the rest after her nap. We finished off the evening with a Clara favorite, pasta carbonara. Then Clara enjoyed 2 pieces of Mrs. Wilson's famous chocolate chip cake and 2 scoops of ice cream. All in all we had a great day.

The birthday gang... Janie, Kierstin, Clara, Lula (top) Carmen, Molly, Stella (bottom). As you can see getting 7 toddlers to sit still for a picture, let alone look at the camera, is not a trivial matter.

That video is hilarious. And I love all the little girls posing for the picture. Happy Birthday Clara!
