For my birthday girl

Dear Gracie,
 You sparkle! I love your pretty and happy smile. People around you notice that you are always wearing it, and it makes them happy too. I love your green eyes. They remind me of dad. I love it when you think of silly jokes and cannot stop laughing.  I love laying by you at night and hearing all of your stories and adventures from school (even though I sometimes need to end them so you can get your rest:) I hope you will always tell me about what is important in your life.

I am proud of the way you help Gunner and Maisy. You really look out for them and include them. That is important. Your siblings will probably know you longer than anyone else in your life. I love your zest for life. You love to be with people and interact so well with everyone around you. It must have been all of those social work classes you attended as an infant:)

You brighten my day when you use new words and show off new skills you are learning. This is a big year for you. One that I hope you will always remember.

I love getting big hugs and kisses at the bus stop. I hope you're never too grown up for that. Thanks for being a good example for me and for teaching me so many important lessons.

I love you, Mom
