With a Thankful Heart! Day 3

I am continuing the Challenge and blogging every day about the many blessings I am thankful for! Today is day 3!

As Saturday quickly approaches it makes me think of how THANKFUL I am for my first born! Gracie!! She will be 3 on Saturday!

I always wanted a little girl so when we found out little Gracie Shea was on her way my heart was overflowing with thanks!

She is my mini-me and I LOVE it!  (okay sometimes she is tanner than me... but I accept it ;)

She is one strong willed little girl (takes after her Daddy... she will be a GREAT leader because of it)

She is THE.BIGGEST.DADDY'S.GIRL.EVER! She can't even see him in the same room without being attached to his hip!

She has a love for music and actually has good tone for being 3! She is ALWAYS singing... correction.. WE are always singing.. especially Disney and Christmas songs :)

She can be so gentle one moment and lean over and kiss me with a "I love you TOO much Mommy" and then the next second have her hand on her hip and in one VERY sassy way say "Oh.my.goodness!"

She LOVES to be involved with everything I am doing... be it sweeping, cooking, crafting, reading etc

She has a love for her baby sister that I melt over! She always wants to hold her or help her though she also thinks she IS the boss and will STOP Ella from doing something bad in any means necessary ahhh!

She adores animals and feels free to walk into anyone's house to pet them... even strangers!

She has a beautiful heart and cares for people

She wants so badly to grow up and go to school and asks me all the time if she can go! :(

She tells me that she is beautiful because Jesus made her that way and he lives in her heart and in "headen" (heaven)

She is my Gigi and I am so THANKFUL for her!
