Our Race for Grace and Connor: February 2010

Last week was pretty eventful. I was busy planning for Grace's birthday party while Grace and Connor decided to help by cutting each others hair. They were being so quiet sitting under the kitchen table with scissors, a box, crayons and markers. I just thought they were decorating the box.....nope!!! I was wrong...they were quietly cutting each others hair.

Since Grace is pretty good with scissors she will be taking appointments first.

Gracie went to a Girly Girl Luncheon and a birthday party today. The girls had so much fun! They loved dancing to Hannah Montana and eating birthday cake!

Happy Birthday Dear Gracie!! Hope you had a wonderful day today!

The day started out with her school celebration. The tradition at montessori is to have the earth (the child) rotate around the sun (the candle) for how old the child is. Since Grace turned 4 she walked around the circle 4 times. Each time she walked around I said her milestones for that year. I was amazed to see how attentive the children were. We then ate her "Big" chocolate chip cookie!

Then it was time for her manicure and pedicure. She was truly pampered today.

We then had dinner and a birthday cake at our regular Monday night restaurant.

Grace it is so hard to believe that you are 4 years old today. Mommy and Daddy love you like crazy! Our dream came true when you were born into our lives! Thank you for being our sweet little girl.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET GRACE!

It is hard to believe that just 4 short years ago Grace was born! She has done some pretty amazing things in these few years. The montessori school has a birthday celebration where we had to fill out a sheet of her milestones starting at birth. As I was reflecting on her milestones, I am shocked to see some that she has already hit. I still want her to be little but she says that she is big now! :(
Yesterday was a day all about Grace. We went to the children's museum and had dinner at The Aquarium. She had a wonderful day.

We love you dear Grace and we are so blessed to have you as our daughter!
