Happy 6th Birthday Princess!

6 years ago today I was staring at my daughter...yep, I finally had a little girl to shop for. Visions of cute pink dresses and hairbows danced in my head. Her labor and delivery was so much easier and faster than her BIG brother and I actually felt great. She weighed in at 8 lbs 13 oz and was born at 12:30 am. I was in love....I still am. She has become such a wonderful, caring (and a bit sassy) young lady :). In 4 days she starts 1st grade, she has lost 5 teeth and rides a 2 wheeler like Evil Kinevil. She LOVES her brother and baby sister so much! She loves to give hugs and is the best snuggler in the family. She is a daddy's girl through and through. She is our Goose and she loves the color green :).

We always start birthdays with a birthday breakfast served on the birthday plate. Grace wanted french toast (good choice).

Then she got to open her presents (outfit & lunch box).

Then it was time for the girls only party! I took Grace, KeOra (her cousin) and a friend (Sarah) to lunch (The Nitty Gritty)

and then off to a local beauty school to get their nails & hair done. They had a blast! We just stood back and listened to them giggle and share secrets and giggle some more. At one point I heard Sarah tell Grace "this is a great birthday" and Grace replied "YES, isn't it fun?". On the drive home KeOra said "I feel like a princess today".

Then we had our friends Jeremy and Jenn, Jordan & Sarah over for a cookout and cake & ice cream (thanks for bringing the ice cream and everything else you brought!) . Grace had a TERRIFIC birthday and went to bed with a huge smile on her face....
OOOOHHHHH...and at lunch she finally lost her front tooth. It has been hanging on by a thread (seriously). It was stuck sideways for a while today...it was gross and she wouldn't pull it out! Thankfully she bit into a carrot at lunch and out it came!!! Yippeeeee for carrots!
