Dear Grace,
On your 9th birthday, we want to tell you what a spectacular girl you are! You have a heart of gold and your brothers couldn't ask for a better sister! You are like their second mother - always watching out for them and helping - you recognize things that need to be done and do them without being asked. You are super task oriented, organized and creative. You love to organize fun games for you and your brothers to play, or play school with them and be the teacher. You love arts and crafts and your most favorite thing to do is to make gifts for others - on each of our birthdays we usually get at least 3 or more super thoughtful handmade gifts from you - and you also love "planning" parties for us and making banners and decorations. You enjoy playing soccer and swimming the most of all sports. You enjoy playing piano and play very nicely however you do not like to practice. You recently trained to be an alter server and now you are eager to try to serve every weekend. You continue with ballet and jazz and have also started Odyssey of the Mind this year. You enjoy reading books about animals and any Magic Treehouse book. You are a great friend and well liked by your peers. You are super tall - taller than most kids in your grade. You do very well in school and get excited about everything you learn there. You are super social. You bring such a loving warmth to our home like no one else and we are so very thankful for you! Happy birthday sweetheart! We pray you are blessed with happiness and health in the year ahead!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

| This year for your party you had a "sleep under" where you invited 7 of your closest friends over for a Friday evening of nail painting, crafts, and just all girl time - no boys in the house. It was a great success! |

| Painting each others nails |
 |
| It was 4 straight hours of giggles and squeals! So much fun! |
