Grace turned six in January. She's been such a mature girl all her long life though. Grandma Roonie said she was born acting mature. I think she has always had some extra maturity and has always helped me out a lot with everything. It was so fun to have her come along after figuring I wouldn't. I remember thinking about how you don't have to be alone when you have a baby. It's been nice to have Grace's companionship these last six years.
Grace was looking forward to being six although I begged her to stay 4, then 5 at the very most. "I'm trying" she'd say when I would tell her very seriously to stop getting older. At Christmas she was decorating the tree and said, "I feel six ALready!" with a surprised tone of voice
We had a family birthday party for Grace this year and a friends play date after school one day, just for fun. We also had fun opening packages from Annie's family and Aunt Sandy! 
I thought the picture of Grace at the sink showed out tall she is. Suddenly, she can reach the water! The one of her with all the things on her bed is her display of the all the Hello Kitty surprises Lydia gave her. She went to bed and laid them all out. The one in the bottom left is her opening her package from Aunt Sandy. She enjoyed her package from Grandma Roonie too, a cute jacket and some money which she is saving in her little bank to go see Kelli! Thanks to Grandma Carter and Tim and Cindy's family for coming, treating Grace and making the party so fun too!

Yes! Keep the posts coming. I almost cried looking at the baby pictures of Gracie. I miss those ages so much. Our two girls are now girls not babies.
My youngest turned six in February and, for some reason, I still think of him as a little kid, barely older than a toddler. Seeing Grace and how old she looks makes me step back and look at my Christopher more objectively.
