Grace's Day

This was the first year I have made "Birthday pancakes." I've always wanted to do this for the kids but would always forget or just forget to buy pancake mix. Well not this year. The year our A/C is broken and it's 88 degrees in the house at 8:00 in the morning. So needless to say, we fixed and ate breakfast in a record breaking time. The past few days I have done very little cooking and only two loads of laundry (I was unaware of how much HEAT the dryer brings INTO the house) after the house had gotten up to 91 degrees. We have been camped out in our Computer room and bed room the past few days. We are very thankful for our camper and small window unit and Eric's portable A/C!

This was taken before her party at the hotel. It was perfect timing, and a blessing that we were already reserving a room for the night. So as soon as we could check in we were there!

This year I let her pick out her cake, plates and napkins. She was just a little excited:)

Enjoying every minute.

This picture cracks me up. Grace is so excited about her new ballet leotard and Jack seems to be saying....Girls!.... sheesh

The hugs began with Alyssa. Grace walked around the room giving hugs to just about everyone, thanking them for coming. Sweet girl:)

Back at the hotel eating a cup full of Skittles. Wow, it was a fun yet busy weekend:)

Be very careful never to forget what you have seen God doing for you. May his miracles have a deep and permanent effect upon your lives! Tell your children and  grandchildren about the glorious miracles he did.
