Happy Birthday Grace and Marcus

4 years old my sweet Grace! You are getting to be such a big girl.  You loves stories and songs, princesses and purses, animals and blocks, and so many other things.  You are learning something new every day.  You know all your letters and are working on sounding out words. You are such a big help to mommy.  You love helping me cook, especially cracking the eggs! I love it when I tuck you in at night and you say, "I love you Soooooo much mommy."  Your daddy and I love you soooooo much sweet girl.

 The birthday duo, sharing a princess cake!  Marcus is always such a good sport (Happy 37 honey!  We love you so, so much. You are getting to be such a big boy too :)

 Daddy even got some presents too!
 Yummy cake
Playing with new toys. Grace got Strawberry shortcake for her birthday (thanks everybody!) which totally cracks me up because I remember playing with these when I was a little girl.  My mom (who saves everything :) still has my giant strawberry container full of strawberry shortcake dolls which she gets out for the kids to play with.  So fun to see that these are back "in" and that I get to watch my little one enjoy them too!

When Grace came home from the hospital after she was born she wore a Christmas outfit with the same pants that she wore for her party (except they were in preemie size!).  Made me nostalgic for my little baby, but I am so thankful for the sweet, sweet girl she has turned into!!
