Clara's Birthday Party

When Clara's birthday approached I originally thought we wouldn't have a party.  After talking to a friend, I decided to do something low key.  So, we reserved the shelter at our pool, got some pool toys, an Elmo cake, Sesame Street party supplies, a bunch of packages of goldfish and a cooler full of juice boxes, water and beer and called it a day.

And guess what?  Despite the fact that it wasn't pinterest-worthy, everyone had an amazing time!  And I didn't break the bank or my fragile spirit trying to get it together to put the thing on.

Here's the results in photos:
