Happy Birthday, Grace!!

Grace turned 5 years old this month. (meaning February...I'm still trying to catch up on my blogging.) It's so cliche, but it really does seem like she was born yesterday. Our tiny, squeeky, little baby is growing up and becoming quite the lovely little lady. She is such a sweet and gentle soul and I'm so lucky to be her Momma!!

I thought it would be fun to interview Grace this year. I hope to do this every year, so we can look back and reflect on how much she has evolved.

Grace - 5 years old

What is your favorite color? Pink.

What is your favorite food? Ravioli. (This is funny to me, because I honestly don't know when the last was that we had ravioli)

What is your favorite toy? My puppy purse.

How does it feel to be 5? It feels different than 4.

Why? Because, it's bigger. I grow bigger when I'm 5.

What is your favorite thing to do at school? Making fans. (This is another thing that makes me laugh. EVERYDAY, for weeks now, she brings home paper that she has colored on and accordion folded into a fan. Sometimes there are two or three of them.)

What do you want to be when you grow up? A babysitter.

We threw her a rainbow birthday party, complete with a rainbow bounce house. She had a blast!!

Valentine's Day

This year I took pictures of the kids and incorporated them into the Valentine's they were going to give to their classmates. Here are a few of my favorites from our Valentine Session...

Forever in her cowgirl boots.

Making progress...

I'm making progress on getting caught up on my blogging. I'm finally into the year 2013.

These pics are from an afternoon at the playground in January. This was the first time I saw Grace swing by herself. Previously she 'needed' someone to push her. She was reluctant to listen and learn from my instructions on pumping her legs to gain momentum on the swing, but her teachers at school were working with her. Today I got to see her do it all by herself. As an adult, you forget about these small achievements.

RJ is king of the world!!

Monkey!

Christmas Eve (2012)

It's been a tradition for us to have breakfast at one of the Disney Resorts on Christmas Eve. We really like Cape May at Disney's Beach Club Resort. The food is fantastic and it's always fun to see the Christmas decorations. This year, they had working carousels made out of chocolate!
