My Baby Girl Turns 8........

Sorry.....Grayson, I am a couple days late posting about your birthday.  We had a great day celebrating with you on your special day.  Since Grayson had school on her birthday, we really couldn't do a party so we enjoyed a wonderful family dinner together of pizza and cake (Grayson's choice).  I think you really enjoyed your presents and all the sweet attention.  I'm pretty impressed with myself to for the treats that I made for Grayson to share with her class.  It wasn't the usual cupcakes or cookies, but white chocolate covered oreos made to look like suckers with purple and pink sprinkles and wrapped with pretty zebra print ribbon.  Every now and then I surprise myself and pull off something cute that I actually made verses something I purchased.

Grayson turned 8 on August 10th and is a beautiful little girl.  After getting her hair cut short, she looks so much older.  My hope for her is she continues to blossom into a beautiful young lady and that she is not afraid to live out her dreams. I pray she remains healthy, happy and secure. She says she wants to be a famous fashion designer some day and has her college all picked out.  She wants to live in New York and attend all the fashion shows.  I love her excitement for life and how she loves Jesus.  She is the one in the family that will always remind us of our family devotion time.  When we get so involved in our nightime routine and let it slip our minds, she is the one who always says " what about family devotion?"  Thank you sweet girl for reminding us where our focus should be.
