Party Girl!

On December 17th, the Manning Family celebrated the 50th anniversary of Jerry and Rose (actual anniversary is December 16th), better known to Clara as Grandaddy and Grammy. Fifty years together is quite an accomplishment and they have definitely experienced it all, "together through thick and thin, sickness and health," and all the rest. We are very thankful for their union and celebrate their relationship. Afterall, if it wasn't for them, this blog wouldn't exist!

Here is Miss Clara showing off her party dress. She had a great time, but really just slept through the whole thing.

Aunt Dawn gets to meet Miss Clara for the first time and gets to enjoy her in the shrug she knitted for Clara! "Thanks Aunt Dawn, it's real comfortable."




Grammy admiring her newest Grand-daughter and making sure Aunt Dawn is holding her right!

Aunt Donna also got to meet Clara for the first time. Donna, Dawn, and Dave argued about who got to hold her next. Clara certainly appreciated the love and attention!




Aunt Vera managed to get a turn to hold Miss Clara as well.



"Uncle Dave always wants to hold me! I don't mind, I like snuggling."
