I can’t believe our sweet girl is six years old today. Wasn’t it just yesterday that we were opening jars of baby food and lugging around a diaper bag? What a joy these years have been. What a joy Grace is to us!
We celebrated today with a simple dinner at home with friends and family. Dad grilled burgers and hot dogs while mom and I fixed some baked beans and chips and dips. We had a Hello Kitty strawberry cake for dessert! The Towns’ joined us….Will and Grace played together the whole time.
For months, Grace has been asking for an hourglass. Weird, I know, but she was SO excited to receive one of her very own tonight. She sits and just stares at it!
She was also excited about getting a Crayon Maker. Kudos to Crayola’s marketing campaign for making every kid who watches PBS Kids want one for Christmas. Todd found the last one in Fort Worth!
Grace, your daddy and I love you for so many reasons. We love your sweet and gentle spirit. We love your eagerness to learn new things. We love what a good helper you are around the house and to others. We love to watch you dance and sing. We love to hear you talk about Jesus. We love playing games with you. We love that God gave you to us after so many years of asking for a child of our own. How thankful we are for you, dear daughter!
