Happy Birthday Grace

While Grace was at school Faith helped pick out her gift & all the special things we needed for her Fancy Nancy party.

I can't believe my baby is 4! She is getting so grown up. On Thursday Grace took treats for her class. I made these cookies that were a huge hit. If you like peanut butter and chocolate you should try them. She also made a Birthday crown at school to wear. On her birthday we had to take Titus to the doctor because he was sick. She informed me, "Mom, I do not want to spend my birthday at the doctor." I explained that it was important and we didn't really have a choice. That night we went to Little People City and Jo Jo and "Cake" (Josie's boyfriend Jake) spent the night. It was such a busy day we ended up having a special birthday breakfast & opening her gifts the next morning. Grace's main gift was a sleeping bag. She has decided that when Spring comes our family is going camping. She was very worried how she could go camping without a sleeping bag, so now she is all set. (If only I was all sent to camp with 3 kids under 4!) But the big excitement for her birthday this year was her Fancy Nancy party. (future post coming soon)

Grace's Birthday-Part 2

Grace had a great birthday! For her family party she enjoyed making a special purple Birthday cup with Aunt JoJo. Josie came on Friday night and took her out to eat as a special treat. They had tacos & chips n' cheese, her absolute favorite. Her only request for the party was purple punch. And a purple cake with a rainbow. She enjoyed all her gifts and did really great blowing out her candles all by herself this year.

On her birthday we surprised her with streamers and balloons. Watching her open her gift was priceless. It was a big pink tub that contained her very own grocery store. It contained this really cool cash register that scans actual bar code stickers and has a little PA system for making announcements. But when she opened the tub all she saw was the food boxes and cans. (old ones I had recycled with clear tape & superglue) She had this super confused look like, "What is this!" But once she figured it all out she loved it. She was also super excited when the local floral shop showed up with flowers and a Dora balloon just for her from Gramy & Papa. That night we went out to eat & then to a special Parents as Teachers Activity Night. At one station the girls could try on a Pirates jersey & helmet. It was lots of fun.
