Clara's Second Birthday

Believe it or not, Clara is already two years old! If you ask her (or just stand near her for a few minutes) she will probably hold up two fingers and tell you she is two. We had a fun weekend celebrating this milestone with family and friends.



Reading with Tia Lauren

Assembling Clara's new table. She was very interested in how all the nuts and bolts fit together, so maybe we have a future mechanical engineer (or factory assembly-line worker :| ) on our hands.

Let the tea parties begin!

Ballet slippers, check.

Clara holds court.

Cheers!

Even Dad gets joins the distinguished company of honored tea-party guests.

Ta-da!

Is it time for my party yet??

I've got the balloons!

Tio Rafa is ready for action.

Rollin' with the beep-beep.

Grammy and the birthday girl.

Presenting: The Butterfly Cake!

Mmm...cake. Mmm-Mama. Sweetness all around.

Josh capitalizes on the rare "Eli-at-rest" moment to get down some food.

Aunt Melanie, Nana Pete and Grammy in quite lovely and complementary earth-tones.

Hooray for cake!

"Silly Eli" shows off his mad slide skills.

What a little charmer.

What a big girl!
