Grace's B-day celebration

Hello All! This year for Grace's seventh Birthday celebration we had a Masquerade Ball. It could be because Mommy loves the Phantom of The Opera and has always dreamed of going to a ball or the fact that these masks are everywhere right now for Mardi Gras. Anyway, Grace said it sounded like a fun idea and chose if for the party theme. Everyone dressed up in their "formal" clothes and wore their special mask they choose. The rules were while the mask was on you had to refer to the masked person by their "codename". Grace was "Peacock", Faith was "Monarch," Luke was "Grape Crush", Timmy was "Orange Crush" and Hope was "Sweet Pea". It was a great time as we danced, had a treasure hunt for Grace to find her gifts, enjoyed party games and ate some good cake. I can't believe my baby is seven!!!! Wow, she is getting too old. We joke with her often that she needs to stop becoming so smart or she will have to go off to college too soon. She often says, "I want to stay with you guys forever! I am going to miss you." I wonder if this will be her attitude in another seven years, I hope so : ) We love you Gracie Goo Goo~ XXXXXXOOOOOO Love, Your Bunch
