birthday celebrations

We celebrated four birthdays while we were in Colorado.  Clara.  Tim.  Vickie.  Janae.  

Clara got her own cake - everyone else had to share.  Here is meema holding the cake for Clara and I am holding the Knipp birthday headband in place.  

 Classic.  older sister blows out the candle while little sister looks on...

 She was so cute as she went face first into the cake.

 Sugar smile.

 Sam also got to blow out the big people cake candles.   It was a great night for Sam.

 Lets eat the chocolate cake!!

 Every night Heeho read books before bed.  These precious moments were some of my favorites!!

Clara always enjoys other people's food...
