Gracie has been really excited for her birthday since we started counting down the days after Christmas. Matt and I are having a hard time believing she is 5 years old now. We let her open a couple of her gifts the night before just for fun. My mom bought her some dominos, stamps, stamp pads, and some clothes. I love the look on kids faces when they unwrap gifts
Because her birthday fell on a Friday she got to take treats to preschool on Thursday so Wed she and I made brownies by her request to take to preschool. We made smore brownies. She loves to help when Im baking/cooking. She also took ice cream sandwiches that they all loved.
She also got this shirt in the mail and was super excited since its Elana of Avalor
At preschool during the kids birthday month they get to be student of the month. We made a poster all about her and her favorites. It was fun to look over pictures to put on it and ask her a whole bunch of questions. She said her favorite food was pizza, her favorite show is Elana of Avelor, She lives in Huntsville, is 5 years old, favorite color pink, favorite sport soccer, and favorite books and the read along ones.
All ready for preschool
All morning as I was taking pictures of Gracie Em would say "cheese" wanting her picture taken as well.
After preschool Gracie came home she played Legos and wore her hat she got at school for the rest of the day. I love her teacher and how she makes the extra effort to make the kids feel special.
That night we opened a few more presents. These little dolls are my fav. The girls have been playing with them at the checkout in Walmart for over a year. They are miniature princess dolls. I finally talked Matt into letting me buying all of them and she was pretty thrilled.
Gracie requested cheesecake so we used our new instapot and make new york style cheesecake in under 30 minutes. It needs some tweeking but it turned out pretty good
Thursday night after the kids were in bed and asleep Matt and I decorated Gracie's room. She requested rainbow colors. Along with the streamers we also did helium balloons all over her ceiling. When she woke up she was super excited with her first birthday surprise
Morgan came over to play most of the day. She requested cereal for breakfast and mac n cheese for lunch so that is what we had. Matt came home from work early to help me finish some of the preparations and then we headed to pick up Hallie from school so we could go to Gracie's birthday party
