What a first Birthday party for Gracie today (Tonight's was with the Ferran's, tomorrows is with the Barker's). This was a big deal for her today and from the time she woke up it was all about her day. We opened presents first thing, made her favorite breakfast (pancakes) and then went to Church. At Church it was her turn to bring the treat bucket so she was excited to take everyone treats to celebrate her birthday. After Church was spent the afternoon getting everything ready for her party at 5:00. I took care of making all the food while Aly cleaned the house and decorated for the "Fancy Nancy" party.
Everything turned out great, the food was good (Banditos) and Gracie had plenty of presents to open. Three years has gone fast and she is all girl. She is very imaginative and can spend countless hours talking to her dolls and going on adventures with them. She is also very helpful around the house and will almost always help the first time you ask. She loves to empty the dishwasher and the garbages, and sometimes does both without us even asking. Like Isabelle she loves to sing, and both of them love to dance and sing to their favorite songs. Even though she is selective on the kisses she gives you, she will still give them, but they have to be on her time. Happy Birthday Gracie!
