Switzlerfamily5--Family Log: August 2006

A day in the life of a 4-year old Birthday girl....

Thank you, Lord for the precious gift we have in Gracie. Thank you for the blessing she is to this family. We love her so much... Amen

Gracie, Today was your 4th birthday, and we had adventures together all day. I am so happy I get to be your mommy and have days like today with you. We woke you with a song and balloons down the hall and into the family room. We put a crown on you, and sang again. We got dressed and took you to see your special Kimmie for breakfast. Then we took you to lunch at Arctic Circle where you ordered a mini corn dogs, fries and an apple juice. Then we went to the grocery store. Next we went to Salem to see the big Carousel, and play in the big park by the river! We let you nap in the car, and then we made you cupcakes shaped like hearts. Sister made you grape kool aid too! You chose Pizza for dinner (of Course!) Then we had your friends over for cake, games and ice-cream. Everyone decorated their own cupcakes, and you really liked the frosting. We finished off the night with a trip to your favorite place besides the stable...the Playground!!!! We took your friends and stayed until it was almost dark! We came home very tired where we said goodbyes to all our friends in the driveway. Today marks two special things... the day of your birth and the day you decided to stop sucking your thumb! Big girl! We love you! Happy Birthday sweetheart!
