Today was the day Clara's been waiting for for three looonnnggg weeks, bless her heart. Her birthday isn't until this upcoming Friday, but one of her very favorite places is The Woodland's Children's Museum so we decided to have it there and today was the best date of the ones they still had available.
We had an EXTREMELY rocky start to the party, but I won't bore you with details. Thankfully we DID make it there and ultimately had a good time so that's the positive :)
G and Papa getting the balloons sorted out
Each kid had a sheet of paper, a cow hat out of a paper plate, a bunch of farm/ranch stickers and a cowbell necklace.
And the cupcakes (courtesy of Lulu and Papa) looked and tasted fabulous and were ready to go when the party got started!
Me, G & Marissa

Ronnie, Alexadra, Maddie and Bianca built a house in the big block area while Emma was playing with Grandpa off to the side, and then when she saw them she wanted to get in the house so Grandpa "opened the door" and Emma crawled in the house and was super happy about her new little home :)

Then it was time to sing "Happy Birthday" and have cupcakes!
Plus 3 candles and we have a winner!
Happy Birthday, Clara!!

I love you Tractor Princess Clara! so much. And I really look forward to writing your 3 year letter on Friday!! Had so much fun with you!
When I asked Clara what her favorite part of her party was she said, "Hugs, friends and tuptakes."
I think she's got it covered!
Thank you so much everyone for coming and loving on our little girl!
