Gracie turns 14

14 is a big deal at our house! It is the year that our girls are allowed to wear make up! We have been so excited! Well, us girls have been excited. Daddy is not so excited for this milestone. :) We decided to do a make up session at Sephora. If you spend $50 on make up then they do a 30 minute full face for free. We needed some tips and suggestions on what to get her. It was great fun. We also visited Joe's real bbq and Liberty Market for some free food. We went to Benihana for dinner. It was a great day!

Some of Gracie's friends surprised her with some love. She also had some friend stop by with balloons. She is well loved!

At 14 Gracie is an amazing girl. She made a goal to finish her personal progress before her birthday and finished! We are so proud of her. She loves reading. She is currently devouring the Harry Potter books. She does A LOT of babysitting. Dance and choir are 2 of her favorite activities. She still loves things pink and girly. She is a very helpful older sister and daughter. She still loves to bare her testimony most months. She still loves Disney. She is so smart. She wants to be a labor and delivery or pediatric nurse when she grows up. She hopes to serve a mission. She'll start community college next year. She is quiet and a little shy. She tends to be self conscious. She is so good and so obedient. She loves with her whole heart. She laughs a lot. She is one of my very favorite people on the planet and I am so thankful to be her mother. She makes me so proud. She is good, kind, and so beautiful inside and out!!!
