Happy Birthday Gracie!

Today is Gracie's 2nd birthday.Amber and Gary were gracious enough to invite us to celebrate with them and their girls. We spent the day swimming at the aquatic center with most of the cousins. The kids played long and hard in the sun and when the clouds rolled in we were ready to pack up and head home.
The Hill's went miniature golfing and afterwords we met at their house for a BBQ and ice cream and cake.
After our stomachs were full we all loaded up and headed down to the cemetery. Her grave marker was put in a few weeks ago. It's AMAZING!! I love how it turned out. Amber and Gary did a great job designing something that reminds us perfectly of her. A cute little toy box with pictures of everything that says Grace.

I love the shoes. Gracie loved shoes and these are exactly the ones I picture her in.
Letter blocks with her initials.
The front has an elephant, a bear,a lion and a lamb. It's so sweet. What better to remember a child than with a toy box? It's a happy, sweet and sacred spot. I LOVE IT!
Thank you Hill's for inviting us all to celebrate Gracie. We miss her and love her so much. We love you too.
Happy Birthday Grace!
