Grace's Birthday Weekend

Grace had a whole birthday weekend.

Friday:

Grace took cupcakes to school to share with her classmates.

Here she is with her birthday crown she brought home from school.
Friday night we ordered pizza and had a sleepover. Jeremy was gone helping his dad so the girls and I spent the night watching the movie Annie (one of my all time favorites) and sleeping on the couch together.

Saturday:

Daddy helps Grace decorate plates for her Puppy Party (more on that in a later post.)
Opening her cards that came in the mail.
Sunday:

Feeling a bit sad (see puppy party post). We celebrated with cinnamon rolls Sunday morning. Grace took her left over cupcakes to share with her Sunday School class. Then Sunday afternoon we ditched rest time and snuggled and watched the movie Nanny McPhee Returns as a family.
It was a roller coaster of a weekend, but we hung on. We are so glad to be celebrating six years with our sweet girl Gracie.

Grace,

I am so proud of the young lady you are becoming. You have a compassionate heart towards others and a helpful spirit. I love to see the way you care for your siblings and your class mates by encouraging them and praying for them when they are sick. You love to nurture (and occasionally boss) others. I see so much of myself in you, but you have a way with people that is all your dad. We feel so blessed the Lord entrusted you to our family's care and we are excited to see how God is going to use your life for his glory.

Mama
