Grace Turns 3

On December 19th Grace turned 3 years old.  Where did the years go?  We had a party for her on the 16th of December.
 We had most of her favorite foods...pigs in a blanket, macaroni and cheese, grapes, apples, applesauce, and much much more. 
 She was pretty happy to be three, get to blow out a candle, and also get the red plate for the first time.
 Yes, in speaking of food we must not forget the cupcakes!

 At the party was Papaw and Mamaw, Carol, Eamon, Shannon, and Eamon's friend Seamus, and Amy.  Mike was home with Austin and Adam who were sick at the time.  We were sorry that they were not able to attend.
 Oh yeah, Glen was there too.  He was also celebrating his birthday at the same party.
 The unwrapping of the presents was a highlight of the night.
 Grace got a glowing orb :)  No it is really just a rubber ball that lights up when you bounce it.  However it was one of the favorite toys of the night.
 Grace also got a jewelry box.  It used to be her Great Grandmother's.  Now it holds Grace's treasures of plastic necklaces, rubber bracelets, and Minnie Mouse rings and earrings.  Oh, she loves her treasure box.
 She also got a tea set for her kitchen.  At which she promptly said, we need to have a tea party.
Only a sweet little three year old girl can convince teenage (and almost teenage) boys to join her for a tea party.

It was a good day.

Grace Reading The Bible


Grace got her first Bible from Bonsack United Methodist Church, the church that we attended as both of our children were born.  She has loved looking at this book and has recently decided to start reading it to me.  I do not know if you can understand but each page of the Bible is the same
"God loves me"
I like her version of the Bible, simple and very true!
I just wish Glen had also gotten a first Bible too, I will need to start to be on the look out for one for him.  Maybe that will help him learn that God loves him too :)
