You Say It's Your Birthday....Na Na na na Na!

This jazzy chick has just turned ELEVEN!  

She is funny, stubborn and smart.  She is cuddly, clumsy, and independent.  Grace is such a fun, free-spirited girl.  It has been so interesting watching her grow up.  She loves us so freely.  She really feels her feelings.  She loves to laugh and sing and dance in the kitchen.

 She wears her heart on her sleeve.  But she is also very practical - she'll march right up to the boy she likes and says "I like you and thought you should know it.  There is no point in playing games and letting everyone else know - except for you.  So what do you think??"

She's the kind of girl who marches to her own "hip hop/rocker" beat.  She'll bedazzle a pair of 3D movie glasses and wear them to school without the least hesitation.  She knows what she likes and doesn't worry about the rest of us.

She isn't easily influenced, but she also values friends and family and likes knowing we all adore her. As her friend Shelene once told the new boy at school, "Grace is kind of a big deal around here" (so don't mess with her?)... And I agree, Grace is definitely a big deal around here!  Couldn't imagine our lives without her!
