Clara Eve/ First Birthday

Last year Christmas Eve Eve became Clara Eve in our house. As I was scheduled for induction on the 24th of December. She made her arrival in the early afternoon and it was the best early Christmas present Ever! This year we spent Clara Eve getting ready for a first birthday party and Christmas Eve. It was a lot of fun! Matt is the best dad and dutifully frosted nearly 50 mini cupcakes!


We had family and friends as close as family coming over on Clara Eve to celebrate so we planned a bunch of finger foods, this is part of the pre-party stack!

Uncle Billy was the first party member to arrive, he is a Favorite Uncle! He had the Santa Tracker radar on his phone and Ben watched it for a good 20 minutes! It was super cute!



Soon Aunt Linda, Uncle Brandon, Uncle Aaron and Auntie Rachel all arrived and the real fun began! Food and Presents!


Ben gave sister a butterfly car for her birthday and he insisted it be one of the first presents, and that he get to help her open it! She took to present opening very quickly!


Later in the evening Uncle Mark, Auntie Melissa, and cousins Dalton and Brayden came over to celebrate. It was a really really good day!
She has not been interested in standing at all! Until she opened the Train! now she is standing independently and will probably soon be walking!
If you have seen despicable me and you can hear the little girls voice when she says, "IT'S SO FLUFFY!!!" that describes Clara's unicorn, she absolutely adores it! The birthday loot. Clara had a really awesome first birthday.
