Gracer is 8

Grace turned 8 today, and we had such a fun time celebrating her. It's pretty fun to have a birthday around Halloween because there are so many ways to celebrate. This year we had a Halloween themed costume party at our house. We had about 6 girls over and we had a blast. There was a pumpkin piñata, Halloween charades, musical chairs, spider making crafts, freeze dance, and cake with ice cream. The kids even turned all of the balloons in Baymax. Grace was really happy with it overall.

On her birthday I bought surprise donuts for breakfast and she took cupcakes to school for the class. We opened family gifts that evening. She got a pretty neat zebra rolling backpack that she's really wanted. She also got a new pair of purple fluffy boots and a giraffe poster for her room.

It's hard to believe that 8 years have passed since she came into our lives. I can't imagine life without my Gracie Pants. Her spunky personality is so fun to be around. She has a contagious laugh and is very kind hearted to those around her. Playing soccer has been keeping her busy although she wants to try softball in the spring. Her favorite show is Descendants. She still loves to play outside and ride bikes in her free time. She is a happy kid. Happy birthday Grace!!
