Yesterday, Gracie turned 5 years old. I can't even believe it.
My life has come so far in 5 years. We had a weekend of Partying. It started with a Big family party and Uncle Jeff and Aunt Jenny's house on Saturday. Kira was also celebrating her 12th birthday. I asked Grace what type of birthday cake she wanted and she said a Barbie doll cake. Oh great, i thought. I am not a cake decorator at all. I have never claimed to be.
But, for my baby girl, I tried it.
The Barbie Cake
It says Gracie and Kira (not shown)
"Why are her arms out stretched?"
you might ask...well because when I made her top i had to have her arms out of the way. But when I tried to put down her arms the pieces started falling off of the dress.
So there you have it.
Gracie Loved her Barbie Cake. Which made me happy.
We had a great time and Jeffs. We had Pizza and salad and soda.
Yummy. Emily was the pizza thief. She would walk around to all the plates and take a slice...
Here are all the grandkids (minus Justice) Lets see. on the front row..Gracie, Tember, Lilly, Olivia, Maddie, Elenor, Second Row sort of: Bayley, Joe, Parker, Dylan, Kunka Third sort of row: Becca/Itsy, Jordan, Kira/Abby, Jake & Maggie and Todd in the back. What a group.
I love this picture of Anne (Jamies Love nugget getting married Sept. 1st) and her daughter Elenor.
So tender.
The Swimmers
Dylan (Steves Youngest)
Jer and Ashlee (Becca pouting in the back ground)
Grandma and Abby *Love this picture*
Gracie opening her gifts-Barbie from Uncle Jeff: "How did he know I love Barbie?"
And her opening Kunka's gift: "oh my gosh, another Barbie, Yeah!" And Lilly got her a Brat Doll (I guess I didn't get a picture of but oh well) and Grandma and Pappa Olsen got her a sleeping bag.
Grandma LaRae got her some clothes.
"Blowing" out the candles. It was windy so there wasn't really anything to blow out.
We had a lot of fun that day.
Monday, Gracie's official birthday, I took the day off to spend with her. She got up and we went to the park around 11.
Emily (with real shoes on) had fun climbing around. She has no fear.
Gracie choose her outfit today. Brats shirt, green skirt and a turquoise belt with her sparkle flip flops. she also wanted her hair curly (so that is why her hair was in braids in earlier pictures)
The played really well together. Lilly is the mother of the group. Making sure everyone is okay.
And she hates shoes almost as much as I do. After the Park and Lunch Gracie and I went to the Mall to get her birthday Mani and Pedi.
Here she is waiting and waiting at California Nails in the Fashion Place Mall. Wink Wink.
After an hour or so wait she finally went back. They put her in a big Pedicure chair and started working on her. She had a good time being pampered.
The color she chose was Pink passion. with a pink flower on the big toe. Pretty.
After hanging at the mall with mom we went back and picked up the rest of the family. Gracie LOVES the Mayan...so she wanted to go there for her birthday. We parked walked over and..its closed on Monday. So instead we went to Spaghetti Mamas.
She ordered Spaghetti with meatballs and lots of root beer. Lilly ordered the same and Emily shared my lasagna (not on the diet mind you) and Blake's Seafood Linguine. We finished off with cherry/chocolate ice cream. It was a really great birthday. I love you Gracie.
You are my special buddy.
Happy Birthday Princess!!
