Monday was a day filled with squeals of surprise and pure joy. There is nothing much sweeter than a child's birthday! A day dedicated to celebrating and enjoying some of the things they like best. Clara's birthday started with a squeal when she walked out of her room to find balloons hanging in her doorway. She loves balloons and immediately lit up. I really appreciate the excitement that she has for simple things! Her sweet, caring, inquisitive and observant personality is such a blessing to our family. She constantly amazes me and opens my eyes to see things anew.

| On Sunday night I set the table for a special birthday tea party. She was so delighted when she walked in the kitchen...and has asked to have a tea party each morning since! |
 |
| Always looking for an excuse to wear a party hat, Matt and Clara wore theirs proudly all through the evening! |
 |
| Goggles from Grandma B & Grandpa were a big hit! |
 |
| So pleased! |
 |
| Insert audible squeal here! |
 |
| Preparing to blow out the candle a second time following the special Overton "Today Is A Birthday" song. |
 |
| Saying the goggles were a hit may have been an understatement...she has worn them everywhere this past week. They've been on bike rides, walks, to the store, church & park. This girl cracks me up! What joy she brings to our lives! |
