Big Sister Success!

Gracie's Big Sister Party was such fun for everyone. There were so many friends, and plenty of kids, and I think everyone had a great time celebrating this fun time in our lives.

It didn't take too long for the kids to start to play with each other, and they seemed to like the games I thought up. Well, they liked them, they just didn't play them quite the way I had planned. But, oh well--it was a lot of fun watching them run around with plenty of excitement.

We had pizza and cupcakes and other treats, and each of the children were so adorable. I hadn't met any of my friends children in person, except for the cous-its of course, so what a treat for me! Janet was there with her two year old twins, who were precious; Amy brought all five of her kids including her newborn daughter; Nanette had her newborn son, and Gracie became fast friends with Ameka's daughter. Then of course were Dawn's four kids, who I must say were great sports at the party clearly geared more for Gracie's age.

I think the biggest hits of the day were the duckie race, and pin-the-pacifier on the baby game.

Even though I had literally no voice, and the kids prizes were found after every one left; I was so glad that I was able to plan this little party for Gracie.

She got quite a lot of goodies as well. Grandma, as always, went over board--but she loves her Fisher Price baby monkey and has named it Bananas. She also got many other goodies like a new doll, many new books, a baby My Little Pony, dress up garb including a hand made scarf from my friend Sara, princess pajamas and so much much more!

Since I was hosting and helping, my camera stayed dormant most of the party, but I know Dawn and Helen took tons of pictures. I was able to get a few from mom's camera, and I snapped three I think. I made a folder for the pictures, and once I get everyone's in I will re-post the link.

Many, many, many thanks to everyone who came and played. We had such a good time!!! Gracie feels very special, and so do I knowing that there are so many friend out there who care enough to come to a party hosting by a very proud mommy!
