Our baby is growing up.

I'm 4 years old!! Gracie's special day is August 12th!!

I can hardly believe it's been 4 years.

Gracie woke up to traditional b-day love notes-
(decorations) and b-day "sugar" cereal.
She has waited for this day for....
about a year.

"Gracie, what do you want to do for your birthday?"
"Gracie, if you could go ANYWHERE,

where would it be?"
These were the questions

the kids were excitedly asking.
(In hopes Gracie having a birthday-

would mean a very amazing day for them as well!)
Gracie did know exactly

where she wanted to go and

exactly what she wanted to do

for her birthday.
Without any hesitation,
she enthusiastically announced her wish.
" The park and ice cream!"
Park and ice cream?
DONE!!!
Hmmm....I suppose we could arrange that!:)
I loved the look on the kids faces when they heard her simple requests.
To the Park we go...!

The fact we don't have a swing set... yet
could be counted as child abuse.
All this b-day girl wants ...is to swing!
And we had no problem granting her wish.

This little girl brings so much life and joy to our home.

She has everyone of us willingly

wrapped around her little finger.

Happy big 4 baby girl!

We simply adore you.

You give us so much love...

and ask so little in return.

Hugs

kisses

tickles

*back scratches

and the park.

A very content 4 year old at the end of her day.
