A Full Day of Birthday Celebrations!

We had a wonderful day celebrating Gracie! She looked so adorable in her birthday outfit.

She watched Dora, one of her favorite shows. Joy just happens to like her as well.
We took Grace to one of her favorite restaurants - Olive Garden, a.k.a. to Grace "Olive Garder." She ate literally 20 olives while we were there. She usually eats just olives, bread sticks and 3 pieces of lettuce. So nutritious I know! Oh well it was her birthday! Notice the olive in her mouth.

When we got home from lunch we played outside as a family. She loves tennis rackets and thinks that they are guitars, among a multitude of other things.
My sorry attempt at making a princess cake. Oh well, Grace didn't care, she loved it! Thank the Lord for 3 year olds!


Gracie enjoying her cake with her crown nearly falling off her head. She's one messy princess.
Uncle Mark & Aunt Krissi got Gracie a Cinderella dress and princess accessories. She was SO excited! She has worn it a lot of the day today. Her newest phrase is "Cinderella is my princess."
She also got "Dora's Magical Castle" (it's like a doll house) and much of the furniture that goes with it, as well as a doctors kit. She had a great birthday and is happy to be 3! Thanks to everyone who sent cards and who called. I think Grace had "Happy Birthday" sung to her 4 times yesterday.

Gracie it looked like you had a very fun birthday! You got to go to Olive Garden? I love that place too, especially the bread sticks. You look so beautiful in your princess dress. I think you're prettier than Cinderella!

Happy Birthday Grace!!

We love you!
