So hard to believe that my baby is 2 years old! Claire is a true answer to God's faithfulness! Our family prayed for her for 7 years!! She is a blessing and we are having so much fun watching her grow!
When we asked Claire what kind of birthday party she wanted to have, of course she shouted, "DORA!" She loves Dora and Boots and will dance and giggle every time she hears the "Dora" theme song! We had Claire's party at our neighborhood playground. Here she is swinging with her K.K. and her friend Leah, then going down the slide with her friend Maddie.
We also had a Dora Pinata! Here they are pulling the strings to see which one releases all the candy!
K.K., Claire's sitter and our dear family friend, made Claire's cake and cupcakes! They were so cute! 
When we sang to her, I could not help but get emotional! She has grown so fast, it seems like only yesterday I was holding a tiny little baby!
The first gift Claire opened was a car from my mom and grandmother. At first she would not get out of the car to open her other presents! She had fun opening all of her gifts! She got a Dora guitar, Dora microphone, Dora doll, Dora coloring book, an outfit from Gymboree, Strawberry Shortcake p.j.s and doll, a Baby Alive and a highchair for her dolls.
One of my favorite times with Claire is at bedtime. I cherish the time when I rock her for a while before I put her to bed! I have always prayed for Claire when I rocked her, and at the end of our prayers we would say, "Love you Jesus!" The other night, she looked at me and said, "Jesus loves me mama!" Oh, it was precious to hear my baby say that! Father, thank you for my sweet blessing, Claire Elise! I will continuously praise you for your faithfulness! May she grow to love you with all of her heart, soul, and mind!
