Birthday Boy
Last Friday our nephew Emanuel turned two. And what does every two year old deserve? A donut birthday cake, of course….
…and a cupcake. A beautiful face full of cupcake.
While the birthday boy was diving nose first into some icing, Clara was enjoying a nice afternoon swing behind him. Which was very exciting…
…and alternately very relaxing. Mmmm, open palm thumb sucking. Is there anything better?
With all of the cousins on a sugar high, we broke out the football and Clara did her best to keep up with the bigger kids.
Thank goodness they’re good sports and let her in on a few plays.
Look at that face. Best kid ever.

Doughnut b-day cake… Love it!
She is just too cute! Now that you have YHLife, are you not going to update your Flicker account?
We’ve definitely been meaning to do that. Someday!

He’s adorable!!!
Oh, your little peanut is a doll!
Ahhh I just love her lil face….Happy Birthday to the lil guy! Today is my hubbys 34th :O
What lil darlins they both are! hehe
<3
I want to give you kudos for covering Clara’s sweet little head and ears on cool and windy days. It’s my biggest pet peeve to see a baby on a chilly, blustery day without something over their ears! (My Mom has the same pet peeve, so yeah, that’s why it is so ingrained in my brain!) You guys are awesome parents and adorable Clara is proof of that!
A donut cake! What a great idea!
Clara is so cute holding the football, it’s huge compare to her tiny hands. :)
I think that last pic is my fav, so mischievous!
Our 13 month old is taking her sweet time thinking about walking, but I bet it’ll be fun when she does! :-p
Happy birthday to your nephew
our daughter does open palm thumb sucking too; and only the left thumb, never the right!
Where did u get her sweater/hoodie it is adorable as is she in that last pic x
That was a hand me down – but it’s from the Gap originally I think!

This makes me so happy because I had a donut cupcake at 2 as well. When I tell people they think I was a weird kid. Well, I was a weird kid, but I’m glad someone else has similar birthday tastes! Clara looks like a regular running back! :)
Clara is growing up so quickly. She’s no longer a baby but a little girl now! I like the picture of her chasing after her older cousins.
Great cake idea!!! Clara is so cute. I LOVE that she sucks her thumb…….I’m sure you won’t love it later on, when the dental bills start coming in. :-P It is so cute now though. :-)
That last picture of Clara with the football is precious!
We have that sweater too–it is from the Gap, last year. My kiddo is still wearing it this season and it’s so snuggly! Looks like they had so much fun! <3
The last picture is so cute! The football looks bigger then her. Cute:)
So precious! These are great pictures too!
adorable!!!
Clara is a cutie, to be sure! My Emily sucked her thumb just like that. Her dentist said it’s what SAVED her from the 5k orthodontist bill her non-thumb-sucking brother has in store…. She quit when she was “6″!! in order to get her ears pierced…She is adorable, and you all are great photographers, to boot.
PS. I meant “she” as CLARA!!, though my Emily is also pretty cute, too…
All those cousins make me smile! Here’s to many more big family celebrations and building sweet memories for Miss C :)
Love that sweater, and to reiterate what everyone else has already said, that last picture is sooo cute. A definitely framer and a good one to laugh at when she’s older :)
Sherry,
Clara is SO you. The eyes , skin tone etc.. :)
Dont worry too much about the thumbsucking. I sucked mine till I was 8 and my teeth are perfectly straight as an adult! I think its an old wives tale… and an over-diagnosis of braces in kids these days
she is too cute! I love the open palm thing. its like she is waving “Hi”! or perhaps raising the roof! haha
Does Clara do the “curl the finger over the nose” move with thumb in mouth? That was my fave with our younger daughter when she sucked her thumb. (btw she stopped at age 4, right on or near her birthday; it was a bit of a negotiation but she was old enough to “reason” with, within reason of course)
I used to do that when I was young but Clara mostly does the open handed thing, which is so weird and cute. Haha.
