Happy Birthday to Claire!

  
    

Birthday season has officially started in our home.  In the next two months we will celebrate all of our children's birthdays.  We started first with Claire.

My little girl is now four years old.  Where has the time gone?  She was so excited and has been counting down the days.  The night before after she had been put to bed she kept coming out and asking, "What day is it tomorrow?  What are we going to do?"  Even though she knew exactly what the next day was and what we were going to do.  We really didn't do anything too exciting but it was her special day and she enjoyed every minute of it.  We don't have fancy birthday parties in our family but one thing I try to do a special cake for them.  Don't ask me why because it takes forever and I usually get stressed but in the end it is worth it because they love it.  Claire had some friends over to sing Happy Birthday and share her cake with her which she of course loved.  

Claire has been such a wonderful part of our family.  She considers it very special that she shares her birthday with her triplet cousins, Ellie, Paige and Kate.  She was such an easy baby and always catching on to things so quickly.  She walked at 9 months, potty trained herself at 20 months, talked early and just always ahead of the game.  She is so fun, she loves to dance sing, and play with friends every day.  She also loves to help her brother with his homework!  Happy Birthday Claire, we love you!
