Gracie's birthday is February 12th....but we started celebrating early. On Friday, February 8th she was the birthday girl at her pre-school, which included being the calendar kid and a little birthday celebration at lunch time. I asked her what treat she wanted to bring to share for her birthday and she requested chocolate chip cookies. Here she is after she came home and started helping prepare for her birthday party the next day. Can you tell what the "theme" is??
We started prepping for the party on Friday night
Gracie's other request: Pink sprinkled cupcakes
Saturday, February 9th. 14 little cuties arrived. This was gracie's first friend birthday party. She invited all her little girlfriends from pre-school and church. They are the darlingest little friends.
First up: painting hello kitty masks
Hailey, Gracie, Georgia and Mia
Mahea, Avery, Katelyn and Jenny Stewart and Elise
Hannah, Leah and Emily
Next, some games. Naturally, pin-the-bow on Hello Kitty
And then lunch, Gracie picked the menu: Mac & Cheese, and Tortilla Chips with Cream Cheese
On to the presents
And then the cupcakes...
Gracie decided to sport some lipgloss (a present) while blowing out her candles :)
The girls with their masks
Her actual birthday morning...I made her blueberry muffins, a favorite
She had dance class on her birthday
Gracie and CJ helped make heart cookies on her birthday...the loved it...the kitchen was a disaster though :)
And since daddy (Scott) was out of town Gracie opened her presents via Skype so he and his family in San Diego could watch. Welcome to the 21st century :)
She was especially excited for her pink lighted wheel razor scooter. CJ has one in blue and now the two of them scooter around the house...all...day...long...!
Gracie girl...you are a joy - we love you more than you can ever know. Thanks for lighting up our lives!!!
Happy birthday Gracie!!!!!! Looks like you had a awesome party! Sorry we missed all the fun!
