Happy 10th birthday Clair!

Yesterday we celebrated Clair turning 10. She had been anticipating this day for a long time. Despite being given the opportunity to request something special, she really did not have any special request for the day. She had certain food she wanted and a small list of gifts she was interested in. I think she was mostly interested in a day of us, celebrating her as a family. She did note that she wished there would be no fighting, especially with her siblings. 

She got up around 745 and came in to snuggle me and we had a nice birthday morning snuggle. We then got up and made homemade waffles with blueberry compote and fresh whipped cream for breakfast. We all had breakfast together and watch church from home. This was a choice. She made to try to please her sister and let her have as much sleep as possible.

After church, she opens her presents. This included calling, granny and having a chat with Granny. 

After present, we headed into Frederick to have her requested lunch at pizza pretzel creation. After lunch, we had a soccer game for Max. It was a cool breezy day at the field. There were snuggles to keep us both warm. She enjoyed using one of her new electric charges for scorekeeping at the game.

After the game, we headed home to hang out for a little bit where I made macaroni and cheese for dinner as requested and she had a facial with her sister.

After dinner at Latimer’s and Gramma and G came over with some presents and to have birthday cake with us. She had requested I make a homemade ice cream birthday cake again this year because she really liked but I made her last year. Everyone enjoyed the cake.

I think Clair had a good day. Can’t believe she’s double digits. She was emotional when I was putting her to bed last night. She asked me why sometimes she just feels so emotional these days. We had a talk about Harmons. There’s a little pesky buggers are hard to explain.

Here are some pictures from the day. I can’t believe all my babies are in double digits. I am thankful for every day and every year with them.









 
This is pure joy! I love this look.
