Clarissa's 6th Birthday

Clarissa turned 6 recently. She had a great birthday. It seemed to stretch for about a week with several family and friend gatherings.  She played a big role in planning her friend party. She was so excited for it. She picked a family activity for the night of her birthday, as well as where we'd be going for dinner. Christina and I joked that she was milking it for all she could. That's ok I guess, she'll only turn 6 once.

Another masterful cake from Christina.

Posing or dancing or something.

Lunch at her "fancy" party. All the girls came dressed up.

Decorating headbands.

They also painted their nails.

Cake time.

Fancy party goers.

 

She wanted to go to the trampoline place the night of her birthday. This is the ONE photo that didn't turn out blurry.

Carson and Lijah in the background. The kids had a blast.

Back home for presents. She seemed very excited about the Hello Kitty gumball machine. Though later she said "I thought is was going to be something funner."

"Is any of this stuff for me?"

Birthday cupcakes and a cute little girl.

In new birthday jammies with a couple of her presents, including the horse she got for her doll. She told me it was ok because she wasn't putting her weight on it.
