Great Grand-Bam (Heather's Maternal Grandmother) turns 80 this year, so the family gathered in Pigeon Forge, TN to celebrate. Clara is the first of her generation (while we anxiously await the arrival of her second-cousin, Rowan, due in September), so there were lots of arms ready to hold her and lots of people to ready to entertain her. We had a blast celebrating Bam as the pictures below will demonstrate.

Looks like you guys had a great time! Clara is such a gorgeous little doll, I wish I could see her in person (soon hopefully!).
BAM is right! Your family knows how to party. My best highlight of the week was hearing you are going to be in Iowa in December at the SAME wedding we are....hallelujah!! A light at the end of a dark friendship tunnel! Can't wait to hug and kiss Clara:) and you can have air kisses,k?
Lets Hear It for A Most Beautiful Baby! She is more and more beautiful in every single picture! I know, we have the same ones, but yours are actually where I can see them! Thanks for entertaining my son. Ask him about the possums in Kansas someday, probably best in a week or 2 when he has time to get over it.....Love you all AuBe
I love that everyone in the fam got a new name when Clara was born! Do I have to call your parents Nona and Paddy too?
I'm sorry, but is Clara wearing jeans at Bamtacular? I'm in love with her. Love, Summer
