Happy 5th Birthday Clara


Okay, so I know I got super carried away. Each time I've done this I've started small and got bigger and bigger. It's hard with Clara because we had a digital camera when she was little so we have more pictures of her when she was young.

Clara is such a joy in our life. I have to admit when I found out I was pregnant with her I cried.....a lot. I didn't want to be pregnant or on bed rest or to have to take care of 4 kids. All my fears went away when I met this little girl. She's easy going and patient. She listens so well and is the first of all my kids to do something just because she knows it will make me happy. Her brothers and sister spoil her and she knows she can get away with just about anything. I am so grateful she is here with us. Our life wouldn't be any easier if we didn't have her in fact I think it's a lot easier because we do.

I loved looking at all the pictures. I laughed out loud when I saw the one with her putting stickers on her belly. It is so cute.

Oh, my goodness, what a beautiful girl. She has been a joy and a blessing to our family. It's fun to look at all the picture - she really has grown up a lot! And now she's FIVE! We love you, Clara. You're TOO cute!

Hey - We're all about the plethora (would you say I have a PLETHORA of piniatas?- he, he) of pictures.
My faves - the toilet picture (McKinley has one of those, too), and the PJs in teh bath pic.
Happy Birthday Clara! It was so good to see you a few weeks ago!

Yeah, Clara. You are such a beautiful fun girl. I love the pictures. You are such a fun part of our family. We love you lots!

And yes, Becka, you did get a little carried away, but that's all right. Mom's are entitled to a little craziness. Beside, it's faster to just put all the pictures on instead of trying to decide between them. :)
