Happy Birthday Jamie Clare!

It's birthday time for baby sister Jamie Clare! Don't know if she's a Fluther reader (someone tip her off to her newfound fame), but couldn't let the day pass without wishing her a happy BD!

As one of the three 'little kids' (that's her in the middle with all that blonde hair -- and Lisa, nice high waters!) Jamie endured endless teasing from us big kids. She was afraid of everything and everyone except Mom and Grandpa Sundstrom, so we exploited that by flinging stuffed animals in her play pen (major fear #1), trapping her in Cabin 6 with an overturned pail of little crabs (major fear #2), and just about anything else we could think of to make her cry. Evidently, not ALL of us were thrilled at the arrival of sib #8...

However, Clare survived it all and thrived. She was always ready to put on one of Mom's wigs and housedresses and pretend to be Cousin Charmaine coming to visit (Mom's major fear #1), take a seat at the Fun Machine to rock out as Ruby Jeannine, Lounge Singer and Organ Player Extraordinaire, or this...

She appears to be auditioning for the Spokesmodel gig at Hillcrest Bakery...

Hope you are having a fab day, little sister! Love you!

I love my birthday message on your "knit/don't kill people" website! It is awesome, and my kids think Sliver looks like a girl. XOX - Clara
