Yesterday was a fun filled day! It was Clara Grace's first birthday...yay! :) I can't believe how fast this year flew by. I guess having 4 kids time escapes pretty easily. Luke, Selah, and ! started the day by making homemade gluten free chocolate cupcakes with homemade cream cheese frosting for Clara Grace to enjoy. Don't they look marvelous! Oh ya Luke decided while we where making cupcakes for Clara that for his birthday he would like a parade. Because some people have parades on their birthday. Hmmm don't know how we will pull that one off his birthday is not on the Fourth of July of Thanksgiving.
For Clara's birth announcements I took her pictures in this super adorable yellow polka dot pail. I thought it would be fun to squeeze a mini one year old session with Clara, in between running Anyssa to school, Luke to preschool (for a fun snow day), picking up Anyssa from school...oh wait she went to a friends house so picked her up from a friends house, then picked up Luke from snow day at preschool, then the mini session. These turned out so cute. I had to put these two together to share.
I happened to caputer some awesome images of Selah that I love!
So after the mini session (15 minute photo shoot) we had to pick up powder sugar to make the icing for the cupcakes, finish dinner, water the garden then we were able to honor Clara's first birthday. She was so happy when we started singing her happy birthday. She is like Selah...loves loves loves music....I think it is a Gunderson gene.
Yummy Yummy cake in my tummy! and my nose!
That is not the end of our super exciting day.... after happy birthday cupcake time I rushed out the door to my wonderful oldest daughter Anyssa's soccer banquet. She was a freshman on the varsity team. I am so proud of her. Isn't she beautiful!
This is her getting her award and pin.
This pictures is fun...not only because it is an awesome picture of my daughter and I but if you look closely it is a photo bomb picture. Hahaha sister in law Sara I am thinking of you:) Anybody that does not know a photo bomb it is when someone in the background ruins the sweet picture you where trying to take there for making it funny.

While Anyssa and I were at her banquet Mike took the kids to our Wednesday small group. And that was the end of our exciting day!
