Happy Birthday Clare Bear!



Sweet Clare is 3 today! We are all so excited.

Clare loves to dress up like a princess. She wears her Cinderella dress every day. A few days ago we were outside playing baseball and Clare said, "mom, I need to go inside now to spin around." She loves to sing and dance. She LOVES her Dad. She is a good big sister to Alexey. Clare is growing taller but is still pretty petite. She weighs about 27 pounds. She likes to play on the playground. Her favorite (and only) foods are yougart and fruit. She loves all sweets, espeically ice cream. Her favorite ice cream is mint. She calls it minty gum ice cream.

We had a great day. This morning Calvin gave Clare a present before school.

Then we had cupcakes with friends at the park.



After Dave got home we had a family birthday party (Alexey and Calvin were already in bed).

Clare got lots of princess things...dolls, coloring book, tent. Dave gave clare a Taylor Swift CD for dancing. It was a big hit. She loved it. It was a thoughtful gift, just right for Clare.

Happy Birthday Sweet Clare!

She is growing up so much. Sounds like she had a great birthday:-)

totally random question,
what color of paint did you paint in the room where Dave and Clare are dancing in? I really like it, I am looking for something like that for my house. :-)
