Gracie's 2nd Birthday Party

Although Gracie's birthday isn't until Jan 6th we decided to celebrate early since both sides of the family were here from out of town. On Saturday Matt and I as well as the girls went to Wadman to decorate and set up for the party on Sunday evening. Gracie's is very into Little Einsteins right now so it was an easy choice when trying to decide what to do. The only problem was no one sells Little Einstein themed party stuff. Thank heavens for the internet and a wonderful hubby we were able to print and cut out all of it. We thought it turned out pretty well.

The cake was easier than we anticipated when we found a stuffed rocket....Gracie loved it. We made it tropical punch flavored which made the inside red as well

 Gracie loves sweet pork nachos so we decided to do a nacho bar

And hot chocolate bar...another Gracie favorite

Our Little Family

As you can see she was very excited

While we got everything ready we started a Little Einsteins show and Hallie quickly found her a comfy place to cuddle and watch it...with Uncle Ez and Luke.

Here are some pictures of our party guests!

Gracie loved her Nacho bar! I think the guacamole was her favorite which she ate by the spoonful

Can you see how much she enjoyed her party by the food on her face!?

And then there was singing

And dancing

And then this silly girl found the pockets in her shirt

Then it was time for cake and she seemed to like it

Then she got to open presents and got very spoiled

Nic and my mom both bought her velour sweatsuits when she pulled them out she was so excited and kept saying jammies jammies I guess anything that appears comfy is now jammies 

Lovin her Little Einsteins dvds

Grandma Joy bought her some some clothes as well that included a skirt which she immediately had to put to work twirrling

Matt and I decided to buy her a balance bike she seems to like it but will get a lot more use out of it when the spring comes

Maddi asked if all the sisters could have a picture together so she could show her friends. I was flattered that she would want to show us off so we were happy to help her with that. Love my sisters and the fact that they have all become my best friends over the years is such a blessing not a day goes by that one of them doesn't touch my life in some way.

We had a great day and felt very blessed to be surrounded by the people that love and care about our little Grace and the rest of our family. I really can't believe that it has been 2 years since we welcomed this little ray of sunshine into our lives the time has gone way to fast. We love you Gracie Goo! Happy birthday sweet girl!
