It's great to be 5

  How did Gracie get to be so old? We love her and are so happy to have her bright spirit in our family.

 The day was full of all kinds of things that I've told her she can do on her birthday. Whenever we go to the grocery store, she asks for a donut and I say, "maybe on your birthday". I say the same thing when she asks, "can we go to McDonalds and play at the play place?". So... the special day rolled around and the poor girl finally got a donut and finally got to go to McDonalds. As we left the play place she stopped at every table and told them, "It's my birthday today, and I'm 5 years old."

 Before opening some presents. Her teacher made the cute crown. She did get a little sad during the day and asked if she was really 5 because she is only as tall as a 4 year old. I told her that the calendar doesn't lie.

One little story about Gracie... She has been bringing me clothes and will ask, "Mom, what "t" are these?". I answer according the tag, "4t" "5t". I think it is so cute.
