Happy 3rd Birthday to my First Born.

Where have the years gone. I can't believe we are celebrating Grace's third birthday. I am actually getting choked up typing this up. 

A little note to my Gracie Pie...

You have grown into such a beautiful girl. We love you so much. You make us smile so much. You are such a sweet little daughter. I can remember the day you were born and holding you in my arms for the first time. I waited so long for you to come into our lives. And now you are already so grown up. You have the sweetest personality. You are very shy and don't like many men (that's okay for now). When you are home you are one crazy girl

You love going to school at Rainbow Academy and really enjoy playing outside on their jungle gym. You are learning so much. Right now you are learning all of you letters and the other day I asked you what 1 + 1 was and you said "2!!!" You could also tell me what 1 + 2, 1 +3 and 1 + 4 was. Boy did you make me happy!!!! You are the best sister to Lily. You love you so much. Just today we were going somewhere without Lily and you said so sweetly, "Awww.. Lily I'm going to miss you so much." Those words just melted my heart. 

You are obsessed with Cinderella. We watch that every night and listen to the CD in the car. We also read the story at night. I love it!!! My little princess. You love playing dress up and wearing dresses. As soon as you get home from school you take off you outfit and put on your princess dress. One of the many :)
