Oh my! Clara's birthday party was so fun. Erwin has always lamented the fact that Wa'a got a huge 1st birthday party, but Clara did not. Erwin also loves his special little girl, so he was more than okay with planning a big 2nd birthday party for her.
It took quite a bit of work and planning. But the hardest part was figuring out what to theme her party. I felt so sad at first that Erwin and I couldn't think of anything super concrete for her. Since she doesn't talk or show consistent interest in any one thing, we felt lost on having a party that shows who she is.
Then, it hit me. Call it cheesy or cliche, but when I saw unicorn pictures and supplies, it hit me!
I wanted to theme her party representing who she IS to
us, and not what she likes.
Clara Joy is our
unicorn. She is different from all the other horses. She is special, colorful, unique and one of a kind. She is beautiful and has a spirit that is quite magical, yet not in the least tamed. Not everyone understands the unicorn but most desire to be in the presence of the gorgeous creature, and that is how I feel about her. Cheesy? I don't care. It comforts me.
So we went all out for our little unicorn girl. We pulled off a great fun party, and had Ally, the Rivas' and my mom come. It was so fun, and we all had a great time celebrating her.
There were colorful decorations everywhere.
Unicorn balloons, plates, cups and napkins.
Unicorn cupcakes and cupcake holders and toppers.
A colorful and beautiful balloon arch
Unicorn blow ups
Unicorn suckers
Unicorn headbands for the kids to wear
We ate her favorite foods! Spaghetti, garlic bread, jello, corn and fruit. It was so yummy and we all gobbled up the food.
For an activity, we had the kids do what Clara loves! And that is stringing beads! So I had a cute set of beads for all the kids (adults too!) to make their own necklaces and bracelets. That was a a good time, and the end results were fun to see.
She got perfect gifts from everyone! And I really mean perfect. We felt so blessed to have everyone support her and show their love for her and have a good time all together in her honor.
Happy 2nd birthday my darling.
