Someone we know and love has her first birthday coming up. I won't spare any of you with the, I can't believe our baby is already a year old drama. I will save that posting for another night. Sweet, sweet Clara came over for dinner Sunday. With all the wisdom of a 3 1/2 year old she put together that they were bringing Amelia a birthday present and that her mom was bringing dessert which happened to be a cake so therefore it had to be a birthday party. That was certainly not the intent but I learned you can't say no to those brown eyes!
Before we could get to the cake Clara helped Amelia with her mac-n-cheese. Clearly Amelia needs a lot of help as she is a mess!
After Clara's request we found some candles and Clara taught Amelia how to blow out a candle!
I think the above pictures of Clara and Amelia show two little girls who look a lot like their moms. When writing this post I recalled a picture of me on my first birthday which (a) I was sitting in the same highchair Amelia uses and (b) Clara's mama Gretchen was in. Here it is!
I was just talking about how Amelia was almost a year old...I can't believe it either...she gets cuter by the day! Enjoy a less stressful turkey day than last year!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of baby Whitney and Gretchen and JD. Seems like just yesterday the three of you looked just like that. Where do the years go? The older I get the faster they go.......Happy Birthday Amelia! Love your Great Aunt Susan (yipes - how could I be anyone's "great" anything....now that really does sound OLD!)
