Putting the Art in Party

Clara is officially six.

Well, she has been for over a month, but despite celebrating with lots of cousins and grandparents during her birthday weekend in September, it didn't feel truly like an honest-to-goodness milestone (to her) until she celebrated with her friends last weekend.

Her favorite thing to do at home is to take a seat at the "art desk" in the family room and get creative with paper, glue, staples, tape, paint, chalk, and crayons, so it was fitting that she requested an "art party" for her crew of girlfriends both old and new -- family friends, some cousins, and all of the girls in her new kindergarten class. We headed to a local place that specializes in letting little people make giant messes. Our only job was to bring balloons, cake, decorations, and one very excited little girl!










 






 
Happy birthday (at long last!) to our favorite little butterfly-loving artist!

Where to start?! Great job on the butterfly cake! I am totaly bonding with this kid, as I wear my favorite butterfly scrub top, and drive a vehicle with a butterfly vinyl actoss the top of my windsheild :-) How crazy is it, that, I now recognize some of the other kids at that party, just from other posts over the years! Happy Bday, Clara Jane!
