Clara Jane turns 9!

June 9th brings yet another "Golden Birthday" in the Randall home. Clever Clara Jane turned 9 today. She was born on the same day as her Grammie Randall. We are so happy that Clara is a part of our family. She is our "queen of tarts"...no traditional birthday cake for this girl. She wanted a raspberry tart instead.
Clara is crazy about watermelon, jump ropes, books, art, the Friend magazine, French pastries (especially tarts), tricky bars, climbing trees, bunnies, cooking, having fun and being a huge helper in every situation. She is a terrific little sister and an even better big sister. Her French accent is amazing ...she sounds like the real deal when she speaks French! Clara has a smile that can melt any heart. We love her big dimple.
If there is something good going on Clara wants to be a part of it. She struggles to go to sleep at night for fear she is going to miss out. When others are walking Clara is doing cart-wheels. If you need her to sit still you better have a treat on hand because her middle name is "wiggles". She's a little chatter-box and her laughter is contagious. Clara you have made our home so happy for the past 9 years. We hope that this next year is a real "golden" one for you!
