Sweet 16 for Claire (a day early)

We had to take Claire to TBarM Camp today so we surprised her and celebrated her big 16th birthday this morning. We got her favorite donuts from Daily Donut and watched her open her gifts. She was so surprised and appreciative, it warmed my heart. The best part was the super awesome hug I got before we headed off to church. Claire has amazed me so much over this past 16 years. She has such a huge heart, such determination and drive (when she chooses to use it), and has made both Jeff and I so very proud to call her our daughter! I cannot wait to see where God is going to lead her this coming year! I know God has huge plans for her and will provide the path! Tomorrow, the entire camp will be singing her happy birthday while her cabin has to stand on the table in the dining hall and then her cabin gets an ice cream cake to share, which I am sure will taste amazing in these warm temperatures!
