My sweet girl turned 4 December 15th! FOUR! Someone, please slow down time.
This little girl made me a mama and I'm so grateful. I'll never forget those first moments after she was born. She was perfect. There are no words to describe the love I have for her.
Clara is such a treasure. She has the biggest heart and is so sweet. She's a thinker and I love hearing her thoughts and opinions. She loves to sing and have dance parties. She loves to play with Davey, especially pretending to be puppies together. She loves to help me bake and definitely loves mixing the ingredients more than eating the finished product. She loves doing crafts and playing with play doh. She loves being outside. She loves babies and continually make it known she'd like a baby sister... now. It's beautiful to see her childlike faith in God and will initiate prayer, especially for healing if someone is hurt. She brings our family so much joy! Thank you God for our sweet girl!
I interviewed Clara again this year. It's so fun to listen to her answers. To see her answers to these questions last year, click here.

We went to the Butterfly House for Clara's birthday! The kids especially loved the aquarium area.
I took Clara to the Butterfly House for her first birthday as well. :)
We went to Chevy's for lunch.
We spent the afternoon watching The Nutcracker on TV, snuggling and dancing to the music.
One last present! We spent the evening playing board games. Phew! What a celebration!!!
