{our moment}

We're joining Amanda for her Friday ritual. 

A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. 

A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. 

what a wonderful present!

BIG birthday kisses!

(what a wonderful present for NANA)

What A Year....

My Dear Gracie,

What a great year we have had together my little four (almost five) year old!

 

It has been such an honor to be your mama and watch you grow.

 As a big sister, as a daughter, as a person.

I am so proud of the five year old that you have become!

XOXO

Celebrations

The Birthday Fairy arrived to help us (half) celebrate!

Happy, Happy

Happy (half) birthday my love!

I am so "lucky" to be your mama.

those eyes

those lips

that little nose

too cute!

and Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all as well.

Today's Bouquet is for YOU

Happy Birthday Mama!!!

We wish we could give this bouquet to you in person instead. We had a great time celebrating your day....painting our toenails together for the first time. I still remember the first time you painted my nails so it was a special treat. See you soon! xoxo

this is probably one of my favorite photos ever taken
