Happy Birthday Annagrace!

Today my sweet little Annagrace turned 9 years old today!  Where does the time go?  It just seems like yesterday she was bouncing around with her blonde ringlets all over the place.  Now she's running around holding Nathan on her hip!  She is such a great helper to me.  She loves to help take care of her baby brother.  I just can't believe how time flies.  Watching her flourish into an almost preteen, is sad, but happy.  I'm thankful for such a sweet and healthy young lady.  Just watching her grow up is bittersweet.  We started her birthday celebration last weekend, because we were having a yard sale this weekend.  Annagrace and 4 of her friends enjoyed a night at "Le Andrews Spalon".  We had a blast, I think I more fun than the girls did!  We turned our living room into a spa!  I turned off the lights and lit candles, had soft instrumental music playing.  The girls all took turns at the different stations in the salon.  Each girl recieved a manicure, pedicure, facial and all painted a picture while visiting the spa.  As the girls were recieving their spa treatments they indulged in chocolates and drank "spalicious" from a wine glass!  These girls were pampered and recieved the ultimate spa treatment.  They were all so sweet, once they had all there spa treatments, they all insisted that I recieve the spa treatment too!   It was wonderful.  I figured out how to get a room full of girls quite and settled down for the night.  The spa treatments lasted over 2 hours and the girls were all asleep by 10:30!! We had a wonderful time!  We will finish off the birthday celebration tomorrow with cake and ice cream with family and friends!!
