Happy Bithday Gracie!

We got to celebrate a very special birthday with an extra special girl. Lauren Grace has her birthday every year two days after deer season starts. She turned six years old this year! She is growing so very fast!

Here she is getting her bithday present from Uncle Troy and Aunt Carrie. She got a pearl necklace and she had to dig the pearl out of the oyster her very own self. It was slimy and stinky but she did a very good job with only a little help from Uncle Troy and they found that pearl and it was almost as pretty as Gracie.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Gracie. I think she is so beautiful!

Gracie,
Happy Birthday! Uncle Troy and Aunt Carrie are so proud that you are our niece. We love you VERY much! God has a SUPER special plan for you when you grow up; and I can see that God is growing you into a EXTRA SPECIAL "little lady." Keep obeying Jesus and I know that you will do something amazing for Jesus someday. Lots of love to you.
