Happy Birthday Grace!

My baby girl turned 8 on Monday. She is turning into the most beautiful young lady, she is so smart, she scored a 99% on her Stanford Reading Test in school! She completed her second grade year with flying colors, she is a collector and a very artistic girl. She has a sense of fashion that is all her own, and I love that she wears what she thinks is cool, no matter what anyone says! This year I decided to make each of the kids their very own special plate at Potwin Pottery, something special that would be a keepsake, but that they could also use, Ethan was the first to receive his and he puts a plate over his plate to use it, because he doesn't want to get it dirty! Needless to say the plates have been a big hit! Since Grace and her cousins, Joy and Bailey were off to Colorado on the morning of Grace's birthday, per Grace's request for this year, so, we did a little at home party for her,
with a few family members there.
Grandma Linda and Great-Grandma Joy were among the honored guests, and it was a great success, Grace felt very special, and loved!

Our sweet little tea set was done just in time for the party too, so we showed it off to all the guests, we are very proud of how it came out!

The clowns were there too, and all we paid them was a slice of strawberry cake and some ice cream, they were hilarious, kept us in stitches!

Looking forward to the coming year and watching our princess grow is a never-ending drama/comedy and always a love story!
