Twelve birthday smiles from the birthday girl!
And one of those “smile for the camera” pictures for good measure… 
Happy twelfth birthday Ivy!
Lets see…
…placating smile, too long bangs, events from the swim meet on her arm, dressed inappropriate to the weather and she’s got a pigeon on the table…
..Yup! That’s our Clara!
Happy birthday to our favorite pigeon lover!
Eleven years calls for a penguin party! 
Happy birthday Ivy!
Here there be dragons, but only the sweet ones!
Happy Birthday Ivy!
Kids turn seven all the time.
Every day some kid, somewhere, turns seven.
But it’s not everyday that a girl who wonders things like…
“What if it snowed pockets…. What if it snowed pockets and you could just reach out and grab one and put it on you wherever you wanted a pocket… And then, what if, if you didn’t catch them, when they fell on the ground they turned into candy….”
… turns seven.
Happy Birthday to a most imaginative girl!
Throw the Confetti!
Bring out the cake!

For months Clara has been telling me that she wants “everything bee” for her birthday.
