My first baby- the one who was born, what? two weeks ago?- had the NERVE to turn 9 years old. Can you believe that? I cannot.
But, goodness. She is the very best 9-year-old that there ever was. The sweetest, most generous, kindest, cleverest of all the 9-year-olds in the land. Could not possibly be more grateful for the person she is.
Birthday girl!
Lily and Brynnie each chose gifts for Claire, and it was adorable to watch them pick out their special gifts for her. They definitely chose gifts that reflected their own relationships with Claire, and I had so much fun watching them.
Claire LOVES this skirt that Brynn picked out, incidentally.
Gifts for dayssss!
From near and far!
Jewelry kit from Bo
Trumpkin was THERE FOR THE PARTY.
We have a couple of friends with children whose birthdays are very close to Claire's, and since we run in the same friend circles, we combined forces for a party at the park. Lots of food...plenty of running-around space...worked out really well!

We had a great few days celebrating our best big girl. I'd like her to slow down on the growing-up front, though... It's going by too fast.
