Birthday girl

Our baby girl turned two!  Clara has become quite a funny, sweet little lady.  She is really coming into her own..... still loves everything Carlton loves, like cars, trains and trucks, but her girlishness is coming out - loves her some accessories, babies, doing her hair, getting new clothes, etc.  It's pretty funny to watch, and fun to see all the different facets of her personality develop.  She knows her own mind, has plenty to say, adores her big brother, is fearless and fun-loving, and seems to be pretty athletic.  Her delighted laugh can warm our hearts like nothing else!  So thankful for our beautiful daughter.

We had such a fun family day on Saturday, Clara's actual birthday, doing sweet little things to shower her with love (and then had a party with family and a few friends on Sunday.)  Saturday began with her favorite, pancakes (taking after her big brother!)
 She got to open a few gifts throughout the day, beginning with some lovely bead necklaces from Carlton.  Here she is sporting them all, while playing some banjo with Mark.
A new caterpillar play tunnel from her parents was a big hit (she's been very interested in tunnels lately!)
Lunch brought an early taste of the birthday cake, to her delight!
 
Posing by her special sign, and loving her day!  Carlton was pretty thrilled to celebrate her, too :)
