Happy 7th Birthday Gracie Girl!

Thank Heaven for my Girl who is 7!

Happy birthday to my Gracie Girl

How have 7 years gone by

Today you are 7 years old

It's sad that time really does fly

It seems like yesterday is was July 1st, 2007

You were just a baby in my arms

We fell in love with you right away

All 8 pounds of you with your baby charms

We brought you home to watch you grow

We watched you learn to crawl and walk

We fed you bottles and baby food

And were there when you began to talk

Soon you became a big sister

And you were so excited about it

Presley and Evie adore you

And love you every little bit

Soon you went off to preschool

You went 3 days a week with a bag you decorated yourself

You learned your letters and numbers and made lots of crafts

Which I proudly displayed up on the shelf

Next it was time for Kindergarten

Wesmere is where you got to go

You got smarter everyday

I was in awe as I watched you grow

Then it was time for first grade

You began to really read and write

You became BFF's with Jackie

You two never left each other's sight

Today you are 7

And headed for second grade

Tonight is your first sleepover party

Girl, you have got it made

You have a beautiful new bedroom

That is decorated in purple and pink

You got to pick the colors

They are your favorite for now I think

You love animals and going to the zoo

And you  love to real all kinds of chapter books

Frozen is one of your favorite movies

And you love Elsa because of the way she looks

You love to play Barbies

And with your "American Doll"

You have your own sense of style

And just got your ears pierced the other day at the mall

I am so proud of what you have become

You mean the world to me

I am very lucky that I get to be your mom

Everyday with you is special you see

I love you with all my heart

I can't wait to keep watching you grow

I hope you always reach for the stars

And I hope life takes you where you want to go

I wish nothing but happiness for you

Someday you are going to change the world

Always stay just the way you are

Happy Birthday to my Gracie Girl
