Birthday

Gracee turned 4 today. Yes I said 4. It seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital being induced. Actually it was 4 yrs ago yesterday I was being induced and 4 yrs ago today she was born at 8lbs 8 oz. I remember when she finally came out, what a relief that was. Looking at her for the first time, holding her for the first time. That is the most amazing feeling in the world, words can't even begin to describe. Here are some of my favorite things about Gracee.
*When she smiles her eyes smile
*Her laugh makes me laugh.
*Her curly hair, I can't help but pull on a lock everytime she walks by and say boing.
*She is constantly remembering to pray and makes sure we say our prayers constantly. She keeps me on track.
*The way she loves and plays with Brock. She tries to tell him what to do but he just does whatever.
*When she comes home from preschool she is always so excited to show me the prizes that she's made for me.
*She loves to sing songs. If we're watching a movie for the first time it doesn't matter that she doesn't know the song, she's still going to sing it!
*She always says please and thank you ever since she could talk. I love that she remembers.

Four years flew by like a cool breeze on a summer day. I hope the next four years take a bit longer to pass by.
For her birthday today we went to Kangaroo Zoo (blow up jump toys) we took her cousin Ellie and her 3 friends Maddi, Wyatt, and Taylor. They all had a blast and then we came back here to have a cupcake from her Princess Diamond Castle cupcake cake from Walmart. It turned out too cute.
This is Wyatt and Maddi eating cupcakes and ice cream with Gracee. I should say eating frosting with Gracee. Later on tonight we'll do our presents to her now that her dad is home and more cake and ice cream.
