Happy Birthday Gracie
From family email March 8, 2005:
Thank you all for the cards, gifts, and birthday wishes as we celebrated Gracie's first birthday. Gracie had a wonderful time at her party at Grandma & Grandpa's. Garren and I had a joyous time as well celebrating one wonderful year together as a family. I got to bake and decorate her cakes and pick out her party dress-so I was in "mommy heaven."
I am sending some of the better pictures from the party. If you notice the red spots on her face, it was from the cake! She had an allergic skin reaction to the food coloring I put in the icing!! But she's okay, and the red marks dissipated in about an hour.
She got to go to a birthday lunch at McDonalds with both sets of Grandparents. Garren's mom, dad, brother and grandfather all drove 5 hours Saturday morning from TN to spend the day with Gracie. Her party was a big success even though it snowed! She had a fish party with plenty of homemade decorations, and a homemade cake--and 3 Elmo balloons! (She was very excited with the balloons--she had never seen balloons before!)
Thank you all who were there and the many more that sent us cards and gifts. But most of all we thank you for thinking of our daughter. I have a ton of thank you notes to write--so be patient with me.
All our Love,
Barbara, Garren & Gracie
Hi BJ!
ReplyDeleteSounds like all is well there...maybe Gracie will get a "real" sled for her
birthday? I think the laundry basket idea was quite ingenius! Must be a mom
thing to be so creative like that? ;)
Happy Birthday to Gracie! And a belated happy birthday to you too...
I’m quite pleased to hear that she enjoyed the toy more than the box. ;)
ReplyDeleteBarbara, The pictures are great! We had such a nice time at Gracie's party. It was so good to see all of you and we are looking forward to May 21st. Lots of Love from Mamaw, Papaw and Luke
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the picture of your daughter. I was excited to hear about her from Katie and I know that you and Garren are very proud. Gracie is a very beautiful young lady and is very lucky to have loving and nurturing parents. It was nice to here from you.
ReplyDeleteBarbara you have a beautiful little girl and I am sure she will bring you and Garren many years of happiness and joy. Enjoy each and every one of them because they go by way to fast. Enjoy the pictures very much. Keep in touch.
