1st Anniversary...

of my 30th birthday! In a little denial that I am now officially "in my 30's!" But my hubby set up a wonderful celebration night out with some of our friends and it was so much fun! What a great way to celebrate and I am so thankful for my sweet friends here in Knoxville!

Dont forget your Ducks!!

Only a few days left to buy your ducks! Visit www.kindermourn.org and join our team-The Big Duck Show...our goal is 100 and we have 42 so far! We will be 'cheering' on our ducks from afar this year but know they will represent our 3 girls in so many ways! Thanks for the support!!

Well this birthday week is coming to a close but we are going to par-tay yet again next weekend with all the grandparents! She calls it her 'grown up party' :)

What a fun week of celebrating and WAY too much sugar! But what's a birthday without cookie cake, cupcakes, birthday cake and a major sugar high??!!

To our sweet Claire bear~
We love you SO much and hope you're 3rd birthday was loads of fun! We can't believe how the time has flown by and that it has been 3 years since you came into our lives...it has been the best 3 years and we love you more and more everyday!

What we love about you at 3 years old:

creativity & imagination
energy & talents
smile & laughter
little bitty skinny body and long legs
sweet stick straight hair
big blue eyes
your facial expressions-that use your entire face
nurturing nature with your babies and your little sister
sweet soft touch
hugs & kisses
huge vocabulary and your ability to use those words the correct way
your artistic skills
how you LOVE reading books
your sense of style


We are thankful for you sweet girl!! We are so proud of you and can't wait for all the adventures that your life holds in the next year!

Lots of love,
mommy, daddy & caroline
