Our Gracie is turning five. Can you believe it? She's grown up quite a bit (not just in height) in the past few months, as well. On Saturday, we had the family over to celebrate another year with her.
Grace had her heart set on a fun activity for her party. At first, she wanted to have an out of season egg hunt...until she saw pinatas in the party store. I, being the cheap mother that I am, could not stand the thought of spending $15 on an empty pinata. So, I decided to make my own.
The cousins enjoyed the pinata, so a week's worth of labor on an item destroyed after five minutes was worth it.
Andrew and Joost looked fashionable as they modeled the pinata after the smashing.
The rest of the day was enjoyed with the family as we ate dinner, cake and opened gifts. The boys had a fun time watching Penn Stave v. Temple--alums from both schools filled the room.
We were also pleased to have my Grandma Bosworth join the party for a bit. Her health is quickly deteriorating and so her activities outside her home are limited. It was special that she could celebrate with Grace.
Happy 5 years, dear Grace! We love you and thank God for you. There's no one else like you and we praise God for giving us a daughter with so much love and beauty in her. May God continue to bless your life and may you follow Him with all your heart for all your days.
