Dear Grace,
It is amazing to me that I have known you your entire life. I met you the day you were born, and have seen you grow up over the past two years in the most amazing ways. Every time I visit you've grown by leaps and bounds, and every once in awhile I look back over my pictures in awe of how big you've become. I've held you when you were too small to life your head, but the last time I visited you were making sentences with words. You are incredible.

You changed my life because you were the little girl who made me an aunt. Now you have a younger brother, and I have another week-old niece to dote on and watch grow. But you were always there first. I remember a time before you were born when I made it out of Target without running into the girls' clothing section. I remember when Christmas wasn't quite as exciting after our family got older and so much of the magic was gone.
