Clara turns 9 this Wednesday! I am still trying to come to terms with the fact that I've got a 9 year old kid!! Yikes, am I that old??? At least I'm not 35 yet!! (Andy!) So yesterday I hosted a birthday party for Clara and 8 of her friends. I was smart, and outsourced the location and entertainment. I even had the cake outsourced (Thank You Heidi!!). All I had to do was herd 8 girls (and 1 boy) for 2 hours through a frenzy of creating, cake eating, present opening, and then filling their goody bags full of as much "stuff" as they could!
Clara and her good friend Naomi. Naomi made her the first of her special birthday hats. They multiplied over time..
Clara and Abby (from her soccer team). Pretty sure they both will have careers in fashion design one day!
Getting ready to blow out the 9 candles. Left to right: Mara, April, Elise, Naomi, Clara, Abby, Isabella...
Clara opening her gifts, now wearing THREE birthday crowns of various sorts. Does she looked pleased with her spa kit or what??
And as if it weren't enough to have a party for 8 girls...we had a sleep over with Hannah as well. I was a bit worried about how the evening would go, especially since they were HYPER most of the evening. But they were in bed by 8:45, and all was quiet by 9:45! And then I crashed.....
Happy Birthday Clara!!!
