We had a great day today celebrating Grace's 5th birthday! We decorated the kitchen with streamers and balloons last night, which Grace loved. Kaylon worked from home in the morning and got off around 2pm when my dad got here. We hung out all afternoon- went to the playground across the street and played with balloons. Grandma Susie's box arrived just in time to provide us with princess cups, napkins, and plates, as well as Grandma Elyse's card. We had a dinner full of Grace's favorite foods: hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill (how did I ever live without a grill???), corn on the cob (or big corn, as Grace calls it), and watermelon. It was followed up by cake and ice cream and presents, of course. Thank you to all who sent her cards and gifts- she really had a wonderful day and was grateful for everyone's contributions, whether big or small.
This was Liliana's contribution for the day.... she said it was yummy...
I debated putting this up- it's not professional, but I didn't want to spend 20$ on a store cake- so here is Grace's 'Princess Cake.' At least she really liked it!
Grace and Pop
A card from Grandmom Jay
A mug with her name and a princess horse from Pop
Charlotte's Web from Grandma Bunting (we're reading it to her at night now- she loves it!)
Glasses and flipflops from Grandma Susie
Barbie and the Diamond Castle and Mulan + Horse (not shown) from Grandma Elyse
She sure did make out well this birthday. Plus she has some money that she gets to spend!
