Gracie’s 4th Birth Day

Gracie had a fab-4th birth day and our fun continued on her actual birth day. She woke up super early to watch cartoons with Grandma. We had muffins and got ready for early church. It was GG and I’s week for Sunday school. GG and this precious cupcake dress for Gracie and it was a match to get her in it but I finally won :)

 

Since Gracie wore her dress (ha, ha!) GG promised her a bday present. She was super excited. It’s a Gracie train. Super cute.

After church, we hurried home to change clothes and pack up for the Arboretum. It’s the prettiest place to be right now! We took Grandma last year and had so much fun and we knew Grandma Sawyer would love it too. The weather was perfect, pumpkins EVERYWHERE. It was wonderful!! The pumpkin area was really crowded so we didn’t stay too long in there.

    Can you believe all the pumpkins? It’s really unreal. You just have to see it for yourself.

We had a picnic lunch right by the water. The best spot! After lunch we had a quick tshirt change and poor Grandma S. lost and then FOUND her camera so we were back in business. 

 I just loved the giant pumpkins. I wish I could have taken one home!

 It really warmed up so Gracie was super happy to get wet and play in the water. I also let her go sock and shoeless the rest of the way. She mostly rode in the wagon.

It was about here that she said "NO more pictures, I'm done!" She is no fun!!

I think this was my favorite pumpkin. Just loved the texture of it. 

We went through the fun Texas pioneer stuff then made our way to the front gates. 

 

My sweet 4 year old :)

On the way home we drove Grandma and Grandma by our new school then came home to play.

 Then Kelly and Gracie.....

went swimming! Only in Texas :) The water was ice cold- literally but that didn't stop them. After a few jumps in Gracie went down for a 2 hour nap. (thanks goodness!) and after naps Kelly grilled hamburgers and we had left over cake for dessert. Yum.

We want to give a big 'thank you' to Grandma and Grandma that came out for Gracie's bday. They helped to make her day and weekend so special. We hope they come back very soon!!

Happy Birthday Gracie! I hope you love being 4. We wish you health, happiness, and just pure fun this year. We love you to the moon and back .
