Happy First Birthday, Grace!!!

Grace turned one today! Bob took the day off, so he got to spend lots of time with his little princess! We went to Chik-Fil-A for dinner, and we had cake when we got back home. You may notice there is no picture of the cake. That's because she got a big pink rectangle cake, LOL. I did write "Happy Birthday Grace and Daddy" on it, but that was about all the extra frills. I felt guilty about that for . . . a few minutes, but then I remembered that she would not remember this birthday, and I got over it. She didn't mind the lack of a uniquely shaped cake, and she thoroughly enjoyed what she got!

She's been taking more and more steps, which is so fun to watch. Her other big birthday accomplishment was climbing the stool in the kitchen for the first time. You can see how excited she was about that! Power to the little people!
Grace has been so much fun to have in our family. She was such a surprise, coming so close to Anna, but I can't imagine not having her now. She and Anna are already such good friends, and the boys just love her to pieces. She adds a lot of light to our lives!

I didn't know Bob and Grace shared a birthday. Happy Birthday to Grace and Bob. So Grace is one and Bob is 38? LOL

Well, actually Bob's birthday is today. He was very gracious, however, and consented to celebrate with a bright pink cake yesterday, LOL. Tonight we have Bible study, where we will celebrate again. Amy P. also has the same birthday, so her family is bringing dessert. Fun!
