No matter how hard I try, these kids refuse to stay little. One day you’re eyeball deep in diaper changes, temper tantrums, picky eating, and disappearing pacifiers and the next you’re figuring out driver’s ed, college courses, and planning a sweet sixteen celebration. 
Life is crazy.
Claire most definitely puts the “sweet” in sixteen. She is gentle and kind, always willing to help, and wants to stay a kid forever. 
She is smart, loves track and wakeboarding, loves her dog, and loves her Savior.
She plays football and Fortnite, loves Spider-Man, and would much rather be in a t-shirt and gym shorts than a dress. 
We’ve had 16 years of celebrating Claire, and pray we have many more.❤️
