Party Time!

What a day we have had! We started our morning at 6:20 this morning. It's Party Day! We had such a great time. I couldn't believe how fast it was over. My mom said it 's like a wedding; you plan and plan and it's over in a second! Gracie had a wonderful time and everything went great. She is such a loved little girl. Thank you to everyone that made her day so special!!

Playing at dawn...

The decorations... notice our balloons on the floor hours before the party started!

As soon as GG put these precious presents down she wanted to open them.

This was at the end of the party. Poor Lydia had been so good the whole time and had just had enough and was ready for a nap! We're so glad you could come!!

Her cute cupcake bloomers

Opening presents. She got some really fun toys and some adorable clothes. She is set for the whole winter. Now if it would just get cold out!

Looking cute in front of all the gifts.

Playing with Joey before the excitement began

Opening more gifts. Maxum was our helper and brought gifts to us. Notice his arm in a sling? He fell off my parents bed jumping around and fractured his collar bone :( He's not letting a little sling stop him though!

The birthday girl

Her "smash" cake

The real cake. They made it just like her invitations, so cute!!

The fun part, cake. She initially put two fingers in the cake then didn't want anymore. I was helping her smear and make a mess.

GG & Pop

Nana & Papaw

Gracie giving Macie kisses

After everyone went left she played and played while we cleaned up.

The sugar wore off and she finally started crashing on the floor! I think she's saying "Will you please put me to bed?"

She took a 2 hour nap and then we went for a long walk in her new wagon. Phew!! What a fun day. Our little girl is not a baby anymore :( She's on her way to the toddler years.... I have more pictures from her actual birthday that I will have to post later. Happy First Birthday Party Gracie!
