Clara's Third Birthday.... or...It's a Jolly Holiday with Clara

Clara turned THREE in March!



Celebrating with Mama and Daddy.



Ta-daaaa!


Jumping for birthday joy. (w/ mad vert).



Starting the birthday weekend off right with a kitchen from Grammy.

Elsa helped with the grocery shopping.



Elsa the Grape snuggles with Auntie Coco.


 
Birthday balloons! (Compare with last year's balloon picture)

Clara and Grammy feed Elsa some pureed breakfast.

Clara chose to have a Mary Poppins party, based on her new favorite movie. This involved: 1.Mary Poppins music. 2. Suffragette sashes for all the ladies. 3. Top hats for the men. 4 Kitemaking.

Clara and her kiddo crew decorate their kites.

Kezziah's pictogram had something to do with "two skinned knees".


Genevieve and her "Votes for Women" sash.
Kite mass-production in progress.

Elsa, Papa, and a duck.


Glad to have Auntie Coco living so close!
A snack for Elsa.


Clara's face must have been hurting from smiling so much all day.


More smiling.
Patiently listening to instructions for "Pin the tail on the Unicorn". It was going to be a Carousel horse from Mary Poppins, but we didn't get that far, so a unicorn it was.

Violet, pin it HERE! What, are you blind or something?


Pondering the cupcake.

Cake is very serious business.


Too excited to stay inside. Does this mean she's an extrovert?


Elsa and Owen direct all of their baby-cuteness at the camera, trying to make it explode.


Bubble men.

Behind the bubble.


Nana and Melanie looking practically perfect in purple.


Clara came down the stairs the next morning (her actual birthday) to find this waiting for her.


Three-ee candles...what a lovely sight.  But not as bri-i-ight...

as your ey-eyes toni-ight.


 Thre-ee candles in my heart will glow...For ever and ever for I love you so.




Happy Birthday, Clara Beara!
