Happy Birthday My Dear Gracie! It is amazing that you are now 5. We have been truly blessed these passed 4 and 1/2 years! I can't imagine my life without you! You have made Mommy and Daddy so very happy! Your contagious smile makes everyone around you so happy!!

You have been so excited to turn 5. We have been talking about it for weeks! We went to St. Joe's last week and when you left you said that you couldn't wait for kindergarten and you would go when you turned 5. You can't wait to wear the red shirt with the plaid skirt....I can't wait either!

This year you are going to have a party at the Paint'n Place with all of your friends at school. Last night we had a wonderful dinner with your godparents and your grandparents. We bought you an American Doll and you named her Kelly. She looks just like you! Today you don't have school because it snowed so we will spend the day doing what you want to do! We may go visit the mouse house (Chuck E Cheese).

Happy Birthday!! Mommy, Daddy and Connor love you so very much!!
