Celebrating Another Trip Around The Sun

Grace's fifth birthday celebration started with lots of time spent examining the beautiful new birthday ring that their Grandpa and Gramma made.

Opening her birthday gift from us.

The fairy design kit was a hit!

Then it was time to decorate her cake. The girls absolutely love this tradition. She had everything figured out from the colors ("We need ocean colors, Mama! And seashells from the beach!") to the deocrations to the mermaid to put on top of it.

"Mama, this is my favorite cake ever!"

Then it was time for friends to arrive. This simple gathering of her (and our) best friends is always so special.

This is easily the sweetest bunch of girls. I hope that they remain friends for a lifetime (and beyond).

Later on in the day Gramma and Grandpa showed up with a little something for Grace.

"Is that a bike I see?!"

It is!

It was time for a new bike for her, and since my parents had given her her tricycle they asked if they could get her a new bike this year. It's perfect! And looks lovely next to Emma's trike.

And seriously, this shirt could not be any cuter! Thanks, Hannah and Brad!

It was such a special day for our sweet first born daughter! These past five trips around the sun have been so magical and full of wonder. We can't wait to see what the next trip around the sun holds in store for you, dear Grace! Thank you for making our world so wonderful! We love you! XO

Not so sure I was ready for them to be able to paint their own nails at the ages of four and a half and (almost) three. Time sure is flying by...

Baking With Grace

"Can we bake cookies, mama?"
"Sure, baby."
And no sooner did I finish my sentence than she took off for the kitchen!

This was easily the best batch of Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies we had ever baked! We've made some really incredible batches but there was something about this one that was just....better. It was lovely to get to bake with my fabulous first born daughter. She continues to amaze me each and everyday. It won't be long before she's baking on her own. Sigh.

A New Skill for Grace

We have a new computer in our house! Our desktop died many months ago, and while I was pulling for us to become a total Mac family, the price of the Dell could simply could not be beat. With a lovely new computer in the house now seemed like a really good time for Grace to improve her computer skills.

She is off to a fantastic start!

Happy 4th Birthday, Grace Elizabeth!

0 comments Posted by org at 1:34 PM

Four years ago today we were blessed to become the parents of (then) the sweetest baby ever. From the moment she entered the world she brought with her peace, love and joy. As soon as we looked at her we knew that the only name that would fit a child such as this, was Grace. It took us a good couple of days to know that Elizabeth would be her middle name. To say that we fell blissfully in love with this child is an understatement. We were beyond smitten and have been ever since. It is with great joy that we got to celebrate our sweet, first born daughter today and the happiness that she has brought to everyone who has had the pleasure of knowing her over the course of the last four years.

Today, all of Grace's dearest friends gathered, in their fairy finest, to celebrate her birthday. Since Grace has a love of fairies and building fairy houses, it was only fitting that she have a fairy party this year. And it is with a very happy heart that I thank my two best friends, Mary and Sarah for this party. For if it was not for Sarah happening upon this blog that we never would have thought to make this party as incredibly fabulous as it was. And if it was not for Mary, godmother extroidinaire, and her talents and creative nature, I am not sure that we would have experienced a party such as this. So thank you, dear friends, for making this day happen!

The day started out with gifts from Gramma. Essential gifts that had to be given just then so that they could be dressed just perfectly for such a special day.
