We started our weekend with a trip to Grandpa and Grandma's house. The girls were very excited! We had dinner with them and Grandma had made Faith a special birthday brownie. They also enjoyed opening their Halloween purses with special treats.
Grace shows off her light up pumpkin necklace to Grandpa.
Faith opens her birthday present (Footed PJ's & Mattress Protector for her Big Girl Bed)
Grandma Leeanne only had a candle shaped like an eight-we thought that would be funny looking back at photos in the future!The next day we headed to Papa & Grammy's house for another birthday party. I made Faith an Elmo cake and fettucine alfredo (one of her favorites). My mom filled in all the rest! Nana had a scrapbook retreat at Lamoine, but was able to sneak away long enough to join us to open gifts. So the party ended up being Papa, Grammy, Uncle Cody & Erin, Uncle Kit & Wesley, Aunt Jo Jo, Pop-o & Mom-o, & Nana. I love watching Faith open her gifts. She opens one and then is perfectly content to play with whatever she opens. She sees no reason to rush on the to the next one.
Faith was a bit more reluctant to blow out her candles with everyone watching, check it out in video here.
Faith's Elmo Cake- it had a #2 made out of "crayons."
Below, Faith opens her jewelry box from Nana. Full of girlie jewelry, she LOVES it.
Faith opens up her blanket Grammy made for her bed. Every time she uses it she says, "Grammy." I always say, "Yes, Grammy made that just for you." And she replies, "Tanks!"
