It's party time (again!!!)

Oh my! We had fun on Saturday...celebrating this little sweetie-pie!!!

Our beautiful girl turned eight years old, and it was time to par-tay!

  

We had such a fun time with Grace's precious little friends, doing lots and lots of crafts...

(Even big-girls love to color!)

And then, we played games...

(I'm only including this photo because of how cute it is how much the little girlies love Adam. They didn't want him to be in the "teapot" when we played "fairy, fairy, wand"...known to some others as "duck, duck, goose.")

  

Pass the crown is a hit!

Do you think that she's having a good time?!!!

Oh, how I LOVE this little princess!!

(I have to add here that in the middle of Grace's party, she ran over to me, gave me a BIG hug, and said, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you!" Oh, this girl melts me heart!)

Happy eighth birthday, Grace! Since we adopted you right after your fourth birthday, this party was pretty special...you've been in our family almost as long as you were apart from us! Pretty soon, you'll have been with us for longer than you were apart from us. Hooray!

Honestly, I cannot imagine my life without this precious, beautiful girl. She truly has been grace poured out to us, from our wonderful Father. She is a gift every.single.day!!! I love you, sweet Grace! Happy, happy birthday to you!

(And if you're wondering why her candle is in a cup, it's because our little girly doesn't really like cake...she wanted popsicles instead! But, it's pretty hard to put a candle in a popsicle!)
