Dear Claire,
Each year, I try to write and record my feelings for you, your interests, your likes/dislikes, etc... Hopefully, one day this will be a treasure for you. Claire, in all that you do, you make me proud by being true to yourself. You are kind, loving, adventurous, smart, brave, and hard-working. You LOVE being surrounded by friends and family, but you also cherish time alone singing and dancing in your room. You are a beast on the soccer field, and you are an excellent student in the classroom. You exhibit manners and you have a heart for God. Right now, you love the movie Frozen, being outside, singing, dancing, playing school, playing soccer, and organizing things. :-) You can be moody when you are hungry or tired, and you struggle to turn your brain off at bedtime. You worry, sweet girl, and that makes me sad. It also shows the deep compassion you feel for others and for the world. I am very proud to be your Mommy, sweet girl, and I look forward to watching you grow into a beautiful young lady. I am always here for you. There is nothing you can say or do to make me stop loving you. Happy 7th Birthday, my Claire Bear, my firstborn, my angel girl, my sweet love. I love you!
Mommy
April 22, 2014 - This year, we decided to host a large, pretend slumber party at our house. Basically, the girls come in their pjs, play outside for a while, and then we watched "The Croods." It was a really fun, wild afternoon.
