The baby is turning 9

Clair has been counting down the days until she turns nine. She has been very excited about her birthday. Tomorrow is the big day. She had instructions for the day that includes lots of cooking and fun and decorations and presents. I have spoiled my children. I set a precedence that their birthdays are in many Christmases. At least they will grow up knowing that we treated them special on their birthdays.

Here’s a picture of her but I took before putting her to bed.

When I said this is your last picture eight she said no. She told me to lay down beside her and take a picture of a snuggling. My girl loves her snuggles and her mommy time. And I absolutely adore this about her.

Clair is a great busy and loving child. She brings positive energy and happiness to every situation. She sees the good in the world and then others. She can tell when others are stressed and she tries to bring them up. She has a heart for God and I truly believe Jesus lives in her heart and I absolutely am so thankful for that. She has plans for this world and I believe she will accomplish every single one of those plans that she wants to accomplish.

I love her so much and I am so grateful that I get to be her mommy

We put this little decoration up on her bedroom door. I struggle to believe it will still be there at least looking like it does right now in the morning, thanks to the cats who are very interested in it. We shall see.
