Birthday Eve and Birthday

One year ago on September 21st, Clint and I went to Hank's Ice Cream.  One of his co-workers had told him for a few weeks that if we went and I ate the Butter Pecan Ice cream, my water would break.  And, to our surprise, it actually worked!

We decided that it would be a fun tradition to start taking Clara to eat ice cream on her Birthday Eve.  This first year it would be to eat her first ice cream, but every year to celebrate the start of our life as a family of three.

When we got there on Friday night, the same lady was working that had been there a year ago, and she remembered us!  It was really fun to go back and re-live that night and to have Clara with us.  What a difference a year makes!

The next morning we had balloons for Clara to play with, ate pancakes for breakfast, and skyped with her Aunt Megan and Uncle Clay in Prague.

 Then we drove to College Station for a little family celebration at our Aggie tailgate.  We ate ice cream sandwiches and she got to open a few presents.  I think she had a great day turning one!
