the party...

Clara's birthday festivities have begun!

Her grandparents from Michigan were in this weekend. Her grandmother took her to the American Girl store and Clara now has a new friend...

Julie!

Clara had to have her hair braided like Julie's for her party today.

Here's her cake...
... vanilla cake, lemon cream filling and buttercream frosting. Yum!

Clara had a jewelry making party.

Here she is checking out the charms and beads before the party began...
Picking out beads with her friends...
Clara realizing that she forgot to include her charms in her bracelet design...
After the girls had finished their bracelets and had taken a tour of the store, it was time for cake...
Make a wish!

And of course, after cake, it's time to open presents....

Clara is such a lucky little girl to have so many good friends... they are all so fun and kind and just all-around good girls. They all seemed to have such a great time at the party too.

As we were waiting for Jeff to pull up so we could load up, I took this quick shot of the bracelet Clara made...
It's now her "lucky bracelet" :-)

Okay... I'm worn out!

'night!
