Gracie's 5th B-Day

Blowing out her candles.


Don't worry, I called Walmart and told them to fire their cake decorator. Really?...Gracie could have done a better job than this! Never again.


New Barbie bike


Another Barbie...you can never have enough!


Anxiously waiting...


My little Gracie, love her smile!


Gracie is finally 5! I think she has been waiting for this day forever...I've had to tell her every day for the last 3 months how many more days 'til her birthday. (Glad that's come to an end). Gracie is my girly girl and asked for all things "girly". So there were Barbie's , dolls, a Barbie bike, and a Barbie cake....let's not forget the Barbie movie. Although the pink was overwhelming, the day was good.

It's hard to believe Gracie is old enough to be in school. She loves to learn and is excited about everything she does. I know this little girl has a lot to offer, I just probably need to be a little more patient with her...she is a perfectionist and it often makes some days very hard. But I can always count on her to have a clean room, her clothes folded and put away and her toys picked up and accounted for. (I think she takes inventory every day). I am grateful for Gracie and everything she adds to our family.

G, sounds like someone else I knew. Every thing in its place and just so. A perfectionist of sorts.
Gracie is a doll and very smart. Gracie will always be Delon's little girl.

Happy Birthday to both Gracie and Jake! Man are they growing up so fast! Just think in a few years you will be practically a free woman, is that a good thing?!?!?

Amy, your kids are all so cute and getting so big! I hope we can see you sometime in the next little bit. It has been way to long. I don't know when we are heading up there, but I will for sure let you know when we are planning a trip.

Awww. Another birthday and another child older. What are we going to do? I just pretend that only they are aging and not myself. I love the pictures you have such a beautiful Gracie!

Gracie is beautiful! Kenzi is turning 5 on Thanksgiving Day, and wants all of the things you got Gracie! I think they'd get along pretty well!
