Clara Turns 1!

My first birthday party was so much fun!  All of my friends were there, and so was all my family!  I can't believe I'm 1…it was a great year!

We had my party in Zone, Jr. at the church.  Mom said this room would be perfect because there is a giant squishy mat over the whole floor…I guess she thought we might be falling a lot!  Here are some pictures…

Uncle Eric, Papi, and Gene set up the ball pool…

 

Here I am in the ball pool with Dylan – that thing was COOL!

Whoa!  The bounce house was really funny…it felt weird and made me giggle!

I had lots of help feeding me my lunch…

After playing for awhile, it was time for the CAKE!  I had never had anything like that and it was YUM-MY!  Everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to me.  I didn't quite know what to think of it but everyone clapped at the end and I knew what to do then!  So I started clapping, too! 

Boy, that cake was GOOD and MESSY!

Here I am doing one of my favorite things – playing with Mimi!

It sure wears you out to be the birthday girl!

Next, we opened up presents.  Everyone was so sweet and gave me way too much! 

Thanks everyone for your sweet words and gifts and most of all, your love and care!

Pink!  I love Pink!

My first purse – YES!!

I also got my first doll – can you tell I am excited? 

Unwrapping is the best part!

Now…back to playing!!  WOOHOOO!

 

 

 

Sophie and I thought it was funny to play in the puppet house…

Helen Kate…

My two grandpas…they're the BEST!!! 

Makenna!
 

all the Dads hanging out…

Here mom is with Kristi…I head mom say about a million times this past year, "I don't know what I would do without Kristi!"  I guess Kristi is really good at being a mom…all I know is I like playing with Audrey and Paige!  Whatever advice Kristi gives must be good because I've had a great first year!

Me and Aunt Krissy – and one of Papi's awesome decorations!

My Rhea family!  Mamaw and Papaw, Great-Grandma, and cousins Aidan and Sophie…

and of course, Uncle Larr and Aunt Chris!
