Happy Birthday

I wasn't sure what kind of turn out we'd have for Clementine's birthday party this Sunday.

Hardly anyone rsvp'd...as can happen when most of your friends have babies and have to play every event by ear.

But it was totally great!

We had the perfect number of people. I know because we ran out of cake.

Clemmie was a true performer and didn't raise a stink once.

I'm glad she's not one of these kids who gets overwhelmed by a crowd.

The kid loves the limelight.

And balloons apparently.

Only the saftest toys at this party.

Tons o' friends + tons o' kids ='d tons o' fun.

Ana Whiting and Liam Ray discuss the health benefits of breast milk over formula...

Mommy-to-Be Josie (aka the natural) cuddles up with our youngest party-goer...

Clementine and Emalea enjoy storytime on the couch with aunt Meg...

Cole gets a little loco...

Cousins Cohen and Clemmie model matching high tops...

Clem experiments with some new culinary delights.

"Broccoli broccoli the magical fruit, the more you eat the more you..."

It's so much fun to watch little kids interact.

Especially when they're yours.

A customer-turned-friend of mine Christina, co-owner of a company called Kidz Katering, baked us the most delicious and adorable cupcakes with healthier ingredients for the kiddies and a larger cake for the big kids.

She even made a special smash cake for Clementine to dig in to.

Even better than the cakes themselves was the fact that she custom designed them to match the invitations I sent out.

Because it's all in the details you know.

So here's the plug.

If you have any cake or cookie needs for an upcoming kid's party, call Chris.

Unless you like your cakes ugly and gross tasting, I promise you won't be disappointed.

You should see the great books Clementine got too!

Some were total blasts from the past.

Like all the Eric Carle board books, Each Peach Pear Plum, Miss. Nelson is Missing...so many that I forgot I remembered (you know what I mean).

The girl had so much fun, she never wanted it to end.

But end it did.

Happy Birthday little girl.

Now go to sleep.
