Gracie turns 6!

I can hardly believe that Gracie is already 6 years old! Today, I was looking through her 1st-year scrapbook and am amazed at how much she has grown! She still has that cute little face with the big round eyes, but she is as strong-willed as she was the day she was born! But that is our Gracie and we have come to love her for all that she is!

We celebrated her birthday by inviting 6 girls over for a little tea party. Gracie was excited for days and was constantly asking if it was her birthday yet. When the day finally arrived she could barely sit still until the first guest knocked on the door. Both Emma and Gracie squealed with delight and ran to the front door. And thus, the party began.

 Sierra was the first to arrive. She and Gracie were in kindergarten together and are like two peas in a pod!

 The craft was mosaic princess crowns. Each girl got to decorate a crown with little sticky squares. They loved it and wore the crowns the rest of the day.

 They climbed the apple tree even though we told them not to. Sierra and Lea especially liked the tree.

 Gracie was adamant that she wanted a pinata. We looked for a tea pot but couldn't find one. So, the next best thing was a pony because Gracie loves My Little Pony.

 She LOVED batting at that thing...a little too much. LOL!

 This is the second teapot cake we've made for a birthday. Marc got to do this one and it turned out quite well.

 Gracie approved of the cake and couldn't wait to partake of it. We had to keep her away so we could cut it.

 The girls took a little break after the cake. Sierra, Katie, Ashley, Alle, and Emma.

Gracie got lots of presents from her friends. She especially loved the Barbie car that Katie got her. I think they all had a great time. I know Grandma mom and dad had a good time!
