Birthday Dinner

Well, she didn't sleep for her nap time, but the birthday train keeps on rolling!

Gracie picked Applebee's for her birthday dinner for the second year in a row. Funny huh! Any other kid would want McDonald's or pizza or something fun--not my girl. She wants a steak and potatoes as her treat!

She got her steak and potatoes, and while we were waiting for our food she also got to open gifts. I took the box of goodies Candice sent and put them in a gift bag, and Grandma and Grandpa had left something for her to open on her actual birthday the last time they were in. Add the gift from mommy & daddy and the card that arrived from Aunt Sharon this morning and she had quite a haul!

Gracie had fun ripping through the bags and Candice's TinkerBell tea pot set was definitely the favorite! She got Puppy in my Pocket birthday set from us, DVD's a birthday tiara, princess plates and bowls from Grandma, and spending money from Aunt Sharon. And, she loved the Ariel card that Candice sent her, and was equally as thrilled to open the same card from us! I guess great minds think alike! So, she has two singing Ariel cards and loves them! (By the way Candice, I had no idea you had sent that one or I would have gotten her a different one, so as not to steal your thunder :)

Speaking of singing, Gracie told me this afternoon that she was exctied about the waiters singing to her. In years past we have forgone the birthday songs from restuarant staff as our shy voilet woud have freaked out. This year though, she tells me "I am 5, I can handle it!"

So, they sang to her and she got to pick out the desert she wanted.

She had a great night, and the fun continues tomorrow as she has her after school pizza party!
