Oh my goodness, time has flown by. In just two weeks, my step-daughter is going to be ten years old. Her mom and I used to be best friends, so I was there in the hospital when she was born. It was a little weird when I transitioned from "Aunt Jamie" to the evil stepmother, but this kid has been a huge part of my life, her whole life.
We've had our share of moments, good and bad, but this little girl has my heart as much as my biological children. As she gets even older, I'm sure the trying moments will become more and more frequent, but as long as she knows I love her, we'll get through them all.

She's starting to get into that "tween" stage, almost a teenager, but still our little girl. We were racking our brains trying to figure out what gift to get her for her first double-digit birthday, because she's almost out of the dolls and pretend play stage but not quite into the fashion and boys (thank goodness!) so picking out something we knew she would love has been challenging... to say the least.
But when Precious Moments reached out to us about a possible review of their Growing in Grace figurines, I knew that was perfect. There's just something so precious about having a little girl. And with Precious Moments, we can capture the memories each year with a new figurine.
I cant wait to show her how much we love her playful side with this sweet Growing In Grace figurine. The perfect birthday gift for our little ten year old, and I can't wait to carry on the tradition of getting her a new one every year to celebrate new milestones and another year of memories.
Honestly, I wish I had known about these sooner. They have a special figurine for every year, from 1 up to 16, each one showcasing a special moment in a girl's life. Each scene comes with either a little brunette or a little blonde, so I picked out the blonde one to match Lexi's golden locks.
I can't wait to see her face light up when she opens up her birthday present. It'll have more meaning to her than just a simple little figurine, because she'll know that it's meant to be her. One of her favorite memories is sneaking to the bowling alley with Daddy for special Father-Daughter time, so this is just the sweetest little way for her to always look back and remember the fun they have.
You can find the Precious Moments Growing in Grace collection at Hallmark Stores or at their online store.
