Happy Birthday My Bella Gracie!

This precious little girl turned four years old today! Four, I can't believe how quickly time has gone by!  She has a beautiful heart, and I am so sad to see her grow into more of a little girl each day.  She has the sweetest little spirit, yet she's feisty and can pack a punch for sure.  She is lovely and loves to give love.  She's a cuddler and loves to give kisses so much that I think it overwhelms her to the point of kissing us so hard that she hurts us.  Her hugs and caressing drive her brother and sister crazy because she's so touchy feely with them, but it's just a genuine love that she has and wants to give.

I could go on and on about what a blessing this little girl is to all of us, but I won't.  I am so very beyond thankful that God has loaned such a beautiful soul to us to raise and guide her in the ways of her Saviour, and to see what beautiful grace God continues to pour on us.
