Gracie's Birthday

6:55 am:  Wake up to a balloon waterfall.  Quiet gasps of surprise from her room, and I get to hear it because I can't go back to sleep after Thomas tumbles into our room at 6:30.

7:25 am: Posing for birthday pictures in the outfit SHE picks out that includes a spring twirly dress, red ruby slippers, and her red dress coat.  How can I argue with the birthday girl.  Although, mommy insists that tennis shoes go in the backpack for gym and she wears her pretty white cardigan to keep warm.

7:28 am:  More birthday pictures at the bus stop with across the street neighbor Amanda, who we found our three years ago has the same birthday!!  Fifth grader Amanda turned 10 today!!

10:40 am:  Mommy arrives at the cafeteria with a special cupcake cake just for Gracie and her friends and gets the lunch tables all decorated and ready!

10:49 am: Lunch with mommy and her friends and Brave cupcakes for desert!

2:45 pm: Home from school and no chores.  (Might be her best present!)

3:30 pm: Mommy cleans her room (present to myself!) while she and her brother dance around bopping each other with balloons.  Grandma and Grandpa both call her to say Happy Birthday 



5:30 pm: Presents!  Daddy decides we will do presents before birthday dinner.  Gracie gets a stuffed Cinderella horse from Candice, Elliott & Jolee (and shrieks!!), a picture frame from brother bear, Squinky play sets and a subscription to American Girl magazine from Mommy & Daddy, and the monster of all present from Mamaw & Papaw: an American Girl doll!  To hear the screams scroll to the next blog entry! 


6:15 pm: Birthday dinner at her favorite restaurant: Friendly's!


7:30 pm: Birthday dinner desert and singing from the wait staff.  Gracie goes face first into a Volcano Sundae.


9:00 pm: shower and bed for the birthday girl!

What a day!!
