Since Jeff and I both had to work on Claire's birthday, her best friend Abigail took her out for a wonderful breakfast at First Watch, after swim practice. Thankfully Abigail's mom is wonderful about taking lots of great pictures!
When everyone got home, we surprised Claire with her favorite...a big cookie cake!
Then we headed off to volunteer at the concession stand at a swim meet...
the girls got to run the registers and seemed to enjoy it!
After the meet, Claire wanted to open her presents before heading to bed.
We got her a cross necklace, some perfume, two new swimsuits, some cash for school clothes, and....
the Oh Snap! pickles she found at CVS when in Washington DC and loved them! As you can tell from the picture above, this was probably her most favorite gift!
We seem to have a pretty happy 14 year old so I guess we did alright with the birthday gifts this year! We are so grateful and thankful that God chose us to raise this precious child! She has definitely been the light in our lives! I look forward to where God leads her as she begins her next chapter and enters high school!
