Celebrating With Family

Grandma & Grandpa arrived today to celebrate Gracie's second birthday. Since the family was in, we decided to sing and do birthday cake this afternoon. I made a yellow cake with chocolate icing and decorated the top with green sugar sprinkles to simulate grass, and then added some animals to make a barnyard themed birthday cake. I kept up the decorations from Thursday's tea party, and Grandma and Grandpa brought a red cowboy hat to finish off the theme. Gracie had a great time.

Learning from our mistakes last year, we all helped open gifts so that Gracie wouldn't get overwhelmed like she did at her last birthday and Christmas. Grandma and Grandpa gave her some clothes and pieces for her Geo Tracks train. Our friend Sara sent her the cutest wooden animals set (now Grandma wants one :); friends the Collins' sent Gracie a Fisher Price Ice Cream game that she adored, Dora slippers, a Little People book, and some ABC flash cards that I am excited to get to use. Mamaw, Papaw, and Uncle Luke couldn't make it this year, so they decided to let Gracie pick out her own gifts. We will likely take her shopping on Tuesday. Mommy and Daddy gave Gracie a Geo Tracks airport, a Little Touch Leap Frog and book to go with it, along with several books to read and a puzzle.

We thank you all for the wonderful gifts that you sent! You are all so sweet to remember Gracie.
