I can't believe it...my Gracie turned ten years old last month!!! I can't express what a joy she is to have as a daughter. I love her more than words can ever express :) We celebrated with a low-key party this year. We had grandma & grandpa over for one of Grace's favorite dinners... BBQ chicken, cole slaw and swiss cheese on homemade oatmeal rolls...with strawberry cheesecake trifle for dessert. And for her birthday present, she got a vintage decorative tailpiece on her violin, a magnet board in her bedroom and dad ordered her a special pogo stick.












Happy Birthday to your sweet Grace!! I used to LOVE pogo sticks. Let's just say if I had one now we better have the car warmed up for the drive down the hill to the hospital.. and a video camera on me would be good too. Wouldn't need much battery life in it, it would just take a moment for the "America's Funniest Home Video" moment to happen.
