Claire turns 9!

A week later we celebrated Claire’s birthday! She really wanted to go to a waterpark, so we planned to go to the Galveston Schlitterbahn for the Saturday celebration, so the Friday before we did gifts and cake, since we had to leave early in the morning. She got so many fun things, she’s really into axolotl’s right now, so she got a stuffed one with babies in side! She also got games and crafts and books, among other things. She was so excited to open each present, would scream with excitement, and it was soooo fun to watch her open them! She’s so adorable. She picked out some chocolate sprinkle cakes from the store as her treat, and also picked out her own candles! She is so funny. 

The next day we went to the waterpark and it was so fun. We rode lots of rides together and had a blast. We had Whataburger on the way home and it was such a fun day. I can’t believe she’s 9! Where does the time go? She loves stuffed animals and pokemon cards and playing with friends. She loves to read comic books and cartoon books, also the Dogman Series. She is so fun to be around, likes to have a good time, is very quick to say sorry and give hugs. She’s friendly and makes friends with everyone, no matter what your age. She’s creative and super thoughtful – she always wants to do nice things for her friends or others. She is great at remembering little details about people and the fun events at school and what people like. She’s kind to others, loves animals, and loves to be outside. We love her so much, and can’t believe she’s 9!
