Just one way of saying I love you

Gracie is one of my best friends. Even though we're almost 5 years apart she's always ready to sit down and listen to one of my long, detailed, dramatic rambles about, well...life. ;)  I remember when I was 4 I kept praying for a little sister, and God sure provided. Don't get me wrong we have our moments; the bickering, ignoring, eye rolling moments. But I can always count on Gracie to be there as a sister, and I hope that I can do the same too! So Gracie, this is "just one way of saying I love you!"

Here are some of the things I love about Gracie:

1. Her talent for dancing. Gracie's dream is to become a professional dancer, and she sure has the build for it!
2.Her one of a kind personality. Gracie has a well balanced disposition. She can be wild and crazy one minute, and then laid back and quiet the next.
3.Her love for animals. Just a few weeks ago I was feeding the chickens. And one of them didn't know the meaning of cooperation, soooo... I got a little upset with it. Guilty! Here is the conversation Gracie and I had,
Gracie:"Ella, don't say that to the chicken. You could hurt it's feelings!"
Me: "Gracie...it's a chicken. It doesn't even know!"
Gracie:"You don't know that. I like to imagine that they can understand what we say...but they just can't talk back."
4.Her love for the people around her.  If I'm ever feeling a little down during the day, Gracie's always one to cheer me up. She'll either do one of her goofy dances and/or make a funny face. Or even make me a cup of tea. She sure is a sweet heart, and I love her for it!:)

There are hundreds of more things I could come up with, but I don't think we've got the time for that :)  Have a wonderful day!
