Clara's 4th Birthday!

Hard to believe my Miss Clara is 4! She has been waiting to turn 4 since she turned 3. Clara has had an interesting year! She was uprooted from her beloved Florida and moved to a place where no one can understand her. And for a girl who loves to talk and make friends that is really hard. But she has stuck it out and is fitting in well here in Switzerland. I am so proud of her and love her to pieces!

For breakfast Clara requested pink pancakes...perfect!

This is Clara's first time being able to celebrate her birthday at school. She was the leader for the day. We brought in cupcakes, which were a hit because you can't get them here. They put 4 candles on them and even a sparkler. She felt very special!





For dinner we served her favorites...tacos. These days it is hard to find something Clara likes to eat, so we are happy she chose tacos.

We celebrated as a family with delicious cupcakes as well and then she opened her presents that she has been dying to see. I had to keep them hidden or else she would have unwrapped them early.

Her last gift was hidden in the elevator. She opened the door and took right off on her new bike all around the house.


Clara had a wonderful princess birthday party the next day. She invited some of her friends, Vivi, Natalie, Annie, Caroline, & Chloe. They made tiaras, played princesses, dance to music, ate lunch, & cake.

Clara's princess cake. Thank goodness for frosting because underneath the dress the cake was falling apart.
