Birthday Night Fun

Since it was Gracie’s actual birthday we decided to have a little family party for her that night. Gracie got to open all of her presents and GG and Pop came over for dinner. Kelly grilled out pork sandwiches and Maxum came too!

DSC_0224             All of her goods. I asked friends to get her a book and I am so glad I did. It was my best idea!! Everyone got her great, great books and wrote a little note to her on the inside. So sweet. We have really enjoyed reading her fun books and that is so special! Here are some of her books….

           Aren’t they great books!!! (We have more already upstairs!) DSC_0004-1

DSC_0001-1 Some of the nice messages people wrote. Just on a funny note. GG got Gracie her favorite books; Nurse Nancy and Doctor Dan plus a sack full of cartoon band-aids. Gracie was in heaven!!

 DSC_0003 DSC_0011 I found this cute princess fold out tent at Ross for $11!! It was a hit for her!!

DSC_0005-1This was Gracie’s ‘big’ present from us. A new M & D chalkboard/art easel. It has the white paper rolled in it so we can just unroll and paint or color or use the chalkboard side. She loves it!!

DSC_0018 Maxum came over after his baseball game and showed Gracie how to play with this stuff!! She looks thrilled, I know. But wait till she opened Grandma and Grandpa’s present…

Look how cute! Her very own monogrammed bean bag chair. I love it, and so does she!!

DSC_0025 GG got her a new fall/winter wardrobe including some adorable hats. She’s not too thrilled about the hats yet but I know she will be someday!!

After a yummy dinner it was time for more cake!

DSC_0043 Gracie was requesting an iced flower and she got it because it was her birthday!!!

What a fabulous 3rd birthday Gracie Girl had that day. We want to thank all of our family and friends for making our girls day so special. I’m not sure if she’ll remember it but it sure was a magical day for her!!

Cute, cute party pics! :) We had so much fun. We didn't write Gracie a note on the inside of her book just incase you had to exchange it (if you already had it). Sorry!!! I meant to ask you at the party so then I could do it there.
