When Auntie Emmy came to visit us during the summer -I have yet to find the pictures. Emily, did you send me files? – she brought Clara a tea set. Somehow tea parties and birthday parties became nearly synonymous and so each pretend tea party we had became a birthday party. So, when Clara received invitations to several friends’ real birthday parties, she could hardly contain her excitement. The night before her friend James’ birthday party she didn’t fall asleep for an hour!

She still talks about the balloons from James’ party – she hoarded them and anytime a less-focused young guest would leave a balloon behind, she would snatch it.
The next weekend was Joshua’s party. She had a blast playing at the splash park and enjoying the party food. Not quite as popular was the pinata…each time I asked her if she wanted to take a turn she strongly retorted, ‘No!’
