Claira's Birthday Party #3!!

February 27th!

This was the unveiling of the doll house! Claira asked for her doll house, which was one my dad had made for me, to be “made over” for her birthday. The entire month of February was spent making trips to Nonna & Poppa’s to work on the house. You guys did amazing working helping me with the house. It turned out just perfect and she has played with it just about every day since having it back.

Claira chose Cajun Chicken Pasta for lunch and Strawberry Cake for dessert! It was great to have everyone there to celebrate.

Claira,
It has been wonderful to see you grow and watch how you are becoming a woman but thank you for not growing up too fast! I am so glad that you desire to keep your imagination as long as possible and that you still enjoying playing will your doll house, American Girl dolls & Webkins. You are so incredibly creative in how you play and l love listening in and hearing all the clever dialog you come up with. By listening to you I can tell that you are going to be a wonderful wife, mother & friend!
I love you Angel Face!

Claira's Birthday Party #2

We celebrated Claira and Poppa Jerry’s Birthday together @ Grandma and Poppa Jerry’s house in Rogers.

The best part was our special guest Uncle Carl. What a great weekend we had catching up.  Although, it was quite strange to not have Andrea, Madison, Nathan & Lauren there it was good “guy time” for Jay and Carl.

Jay met Carl while they were in avionics school in Memphis, TN. Carl and Andrea married the weekend before us the same year. Both Carl and Jay were stationed to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station at the same time but attached to different squadrons. Our friendship grew deeper after JT was born. God has really used them in our lives in so many ways. I was looking through pictures the other day and we have been blessed to see the Daggett’s every year since we all moved from Whidbey Island. It is so wonderful to have friends that you don’t have to see every day but when you get together again it is like a day hasn’t gone by.
