For Clementine's birthday this year we decided to have a day where she decided the lunch spot and afternoon destinations instead of a party. Only later we found out a school dance was taking place the same day and most families wouldn't have the time (or stamina) for two events. A family day was just perfect.
Opening presents in the morning before dance class.
A mermaid tail for the pool and Ariel pajamas.
We tried to attend Ice Cream for Breakfast Day at Clementine's Creamery but the line snaked around the block 5 minutes after opening. We went to Clayton for doughnuts instead.
After dance, we headed to Katie's for brunch - her choice. She likes the food but she LOVES playing with the dough.
Joined by Grandma!
Modeling new sequin garments from Grandma.
Next stop: Play It Again Sports for inline skates.
Next stop for what she really wanted: new shoes.
Trying out the skates.
Off to the school dance... which turned out to be kind of a bust (too loud, unfamiliar music)....
All ready to try out the mermaid fin the next morning!
In classic first kid fashion, she a has blog post for all the birthdays! How incredible to look back at photos that seem like yesterday and like a lifetime ago.
First birthday - Second birthday - Third birthday - Fourth birthday - Fifth birthday
sixth birthday - Luke and I were in Mexico and she was feted in grand style at grandma and grandpa's house!
