Happy Birthday Gracen Belle!

September 26 was my baby’s 4th birthday!  I cannot believe I have a 4 year old!  She has been such a blessing and a challenge rolled into one beautiful, precious package.
Gracen had a great birthday party! We tried to keep it simple inviting family and a couple friends.  We started the princess party with a little crown decorating.

Gracen didn’t mind being the center of attention.  She didn’t demand it, but she loved directing everyone to the next activity.  “All people come eat cake!”DSC_0684
We were having a little trouble with her crown, but it didn’t phase her a bit!DSC_0686

She was a little excited about her princess card!  She was so fun to watch and so sweet.  She got excited about all her presents, and with a little encouragement thanked everyone for them.DSC_0788
She LOVED her piggy bank!  She picked it out a couple weeks earlier and was very excited about it.  She told me a little later that she “had to get the money out of my purse for her piggy bank”.  Luckily I only had change in it!  DSC_0800_edited-1
