Gracie's Special Day



I can't believe my little Pookie is 8!
Gracie has been a blessing to our family since the day she was born.  She is such a thoughtful girl.  She is always writing everyone in the family sweet little letters telling us all how much she loves us.  So many times Gracie has brought me a loving little note just when I needed one.  She is such a great big sister to Ava.  She plays mommy to her and helps me so much.  Gracie always has a story to tell.  She could talk non stop for hours :)  But we love her for it. 
Gracie has always tried to choose the right.  She is such a great example to me.  So many times she has, without hesitation, made sure we were making decisions that would please our Heavenly Father.  Gracie has been so excited for the day she could be baptized.  She was the cutest little 8 year old ever.  It was so special for me to be able to help her get dressed in her white jumpsuit and then afterwards to be able to hug her and dress her in her white dress.  So pure and perfect just like our Savior.  I'm so thankful to my Heavenly Father for sending my Gracie to me.  I hope I can always be the mom Heavenly Father intended me to be for her. 
I love you so much, Gracie!  Happy 8th Birthday, Bubby!

Gracie is a special little girl. I've known that since the day she was born. I, too, love the little love notes she gives to all of us, they DO seem to come at just the right time! I was honored to speak at her baptism and thank her for that opportunity. She is a beautiful girl inside and out!

So exciting to see Gracie baptized. She looked especially beautiful in all her white. I enjoyed singing at her baptism and celebrating such a great choice she made. Love you Gracie!
