Clara's Very Busy 10th Birthday

Clara's birthday fell during the older kid's first week of spring break.  We thought we could take off, but not a chance.  Clara's birthday was crammed with events she couldn't miss.  The morning started off with a duet with her friend S. during the talent show.  Pretty awesome. 



Next came the Eygpt fair and Eygpt play.  Clara was the main part, with more lines to memorize than I could ever pull off.  She did awesome and is actually a pretty good and natural actress. 


For the Egypt fair she and her friend L. studied mummification and they even had a demo where they pulled organs out with a hook.  Ew.

Her friend I. made her a necklace.

Presents were grand.  Archery, unicycle, and more.

 She requested homemade chicken pot pie, and I was happy to oblige.  Yum.
 It took her six tries to get the candles blown out!!!  Pretty funny.

 We missed Lucy who was on a college tour trip, but she sent her love to Clara via Snapchat.
Clara is the family extrovert, is kind, fun, and brave.  We love her!!!
