Happy 4th Birthday Gracie!

Gracie is sweet, thoughtful, funny, expressive, outgoing, passionate, smart and a princess. 

(I originally said she was "silly" instead of a princess, but after I read the sentence to her she put her hands on her hips and said she doesn't like being called silly.  She insisted that I needed to change it to say "Princess".)   

She loves to learn new things, help everyone, cook & bake with mom,  go swimming, do art projects, play dress up, wear makeup, get manicures and pedicures.  She adores her family and friends, and is happiest when there is a big group around.  She loves to party, sing and dance.  Her favorite foods are fruit, pasta, bread and candy. 

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Grace from the past 4 years.

(I need to explain this picture.  We asked her to put her hands on Andrew's head like she always does (see photo below) but she took our instruction literally.)
