Our Gracie girl turned five this month! I can hardly believe it! She is growing into such a smart, caring, and energetic little girl. She loves taking care of her brother (in fact I often have to remind her that I am the mommy:) She speaks such kind words of love to her family, and she is just so full of ideas and has a very creative imagination. We celebrated her birthday fancy style this year. She had a small party with just a few friends in the morning, and a family party at night. Grace got to celebrate with her friends at Le Patiesser, where the settings were fancy and the food tiny and cute!

They all daintily sipped their hot cocoas with spoons

The girls had their very own waiter, and were served like grown ups! (note- there are no grown ups - or boys- at the table, this was a very important matter concerning the party this year)

Mini eclairs for dessert! Yum!

Im so thankful Grace has such wonderful friends!

We had to make the place fancy for party number two! She loved it! She is so special- its amazing to me how appreciative and thoughtful she is. When she woke up from her nap, I had finshed decorating and she just gushed over it, and thanked me over and over again- what a five year old she is!

Dying to open her presents!

She is just the sweetest girl! Love you grace
I think this is my favorite cake I've made so far! Josh is just such a great dad- he made her a pop up birthday card!

First moments on the day she actually turned five!
