Gracie turns 4

My sweet, sensitive, funny little girl. Today you turn four. I have enjoyed every second I have been given with you. Four years ago you came into mine and Daddys life with a Bang! What a day that was. I love you more today than I thought was even possible four years ago. I thought the love that came with you would be it and I'd carry it with me forever, but I was wrong. It was given but it has grown, and I am sure it will continue to do just that.

This year, you have come into your own. You have an opinion and you are not afraid to voice it. You have learned to write your name, when your birthday is and what city and state you live in. You have some of the cutest, nicest best friends out there and I so enjoy seeing these friendships blossom.

You love to go on "adventures" and vacations. You love to just be out of the house having fun. I know I have only myself to blame for this. You were out and about the second we left that hospital.

Dance and gymnastics are your favorite things to do. You love to be on the "big" stage. Mommy and Daddy LOVE to watch you.

Just in this short year I have seen you growing and it is so wonderful to watch. You get taller and prettier everytime I see you. You love your family with all your heart and have the compassion like no child I have seen.

Mommy and Daddy love you to Jesus and back, forever and ever.

Happy 4th Birthday!
