Claire's 2nd Birthday

Claire, 
 On your actual birthday, you got your first tricycle from your daddy, me, and Harrison. You love to press the radio button and show off your moves. You are so stinking cute! I think you are going to be a dancer like your momma. You received lots of Happy Birthday calls all day. That night your Papa, Mimi, and Aunt Amanda stopped by and wished you a happy birthday. You are so loved!
 Your actual birthday party was Saturday January 1st. The party wasn't until 2:30, so I had hoped you would get  in a nap before, but you were so excited that you would not fall asleep. Even though you didn't get a nap, you were PERFECT at your party. You sat in your rocking chair and opened all your presents. You told everyone "tank chu". I was so proud of you!!
 Here is your beautiful cake that Mrs. Cameron (your preschool teacher) made for you. You and GiGi had a blast making the yummy cupcakes before your party.
You loved your cake and ice cream! You were a lot cleaner this year while enjoying your cake.

At 2 you are:
The best big sister!! You love your brother so much and are very helpful.
Potty Trained
Giving the sweetest kisses and tightest hugs
Saying "I uv chu"
Saying 6 to 7 word sentences
Impressing us daily with new things that you have learned

You are such a joy. We love you so much!

Happy New Year!


A new year almost always brings New Year's Resolutions. As I thought about resolutions, I decided this year that my resolution would be "to be a better Me". During my quiet time, I often ask God to help me be a better:
1. Daughter (to Him)
2. Wife
3. Mother
4. Friend
My hope and prayer is that this year, I will give it all to Him and let Him mold me into the person He designed me to be.
