Happy 5th Birthday, Claire!

Today, Claire turned FIVE.
My 9-9 baby.
 I can't even believe it.
 5 is a pretty big deal. A whole hand old.
It seems like just yesterday that she was born.
And, here we are. 5 years later. Big Sister. Transitional Kindergartner.
By the way, having Luke turn 1 and Claire turn 5 within a month of each other has been brutal on my emotions!! Those are two "BIG" birthday milestones.
.My middle child.
 Sweet & Sassy. Boy, is she ever.
 Her name means "Bright" and that she is. She lights up a room wherever she goes.
 Passionate. Spirited. Hysterical.
Hooray for F-I-V-E!
Happy Birthday, Claire Bear!
These photos were made possible by an entire bag of jelly beans. For without them as bribery, I wouldn't have gotten half the photos I wanted. Just Keeping it Real. ;)

    Five is so big! Between you, me and Sheaffer, we have 6 days of kiddos turning five. We should all go together somewhere and cry. Happy Birthday Claire! Such a beautiful girl both inside and out. XOXO
