On Tuesday evening we celebrated our little Claire's third birthday.
(Today is her actual birthday, but tonight is busy, so we partied a few days early.)
Family came over, along with Claire's "Sunday Mom" (as Alexis has come to be known around this house), in honor of the day.
We ate chocolate cupcakes, lit candles, and sang boisterously.
If you know our Claire, you know how easy she is to celebrate.
Claire is so warm. So affectionate. So effortlessly thoughtful. So aware of people.
She loves music and she loves the stage.
(Sure, she's never actually been on the stage, but her little heart most definitely dreams of the day!)
Claire has consistently been used by the Lord, since day one and everyday since then, to bring refreshing and healing to parts of my soul. What a beautiful, humbling thing.
She is an amazing gift-- to all of us: she is Daddy's special helper, her older siblings' delight, her baby brother's biggest fan, Mama's most faithful buddy. We are blessed, blessed, blessed to have this girl in our lives!

I just love this!!
