Eight!

It's been hard for us to believe that Clara is 8 and going into 3rd grade already.  We celebrated her birthday on Aug 6 and 7.

We began our day with making a sea turtle cake.  Everyone wanted to help.  Homemade everything except for the colored icing in tubes for the designs.  We all enjoyed the cake and took the rest to church on Sunday for potluck.

Clara decided earlier that she was ready to have her ears pierced and that this might be a good birthday activity.  We went to Claire's in the mall and let her pick out the earrings she wanted.  Knowing she was about to be the flower girl in cousin Christen's wedding, she picked out some pretty little CZ 14k gold studs.  She also picked out a shell bracelet for fun.  We gave her some small 14k gold hoops for when she is able to change her earrings.

What great pictures--what strikingly beautiful children. The cake is also tremendous. I like Izzy's long, blonde locks.
