so the cake we made turned out to be a "pink-one" castle cake. while grace was napping, i frosted the cake. when she woke up she said, "mommy, it's wonderful!" it was a little lop-sided, a little too warm in the house, so it kept sliowly sliding. and for my perfectionist brain, i would have thrown it out and started over if i could have. but she loved it and that is all that counts!
we had papa bart and kathleen and the rocha's over on tuesday evening for cake and presents. papa and kathleen got her a really sweet jewelry box that she loooves. the rocha's got her some little mermaid flip-flops, a little mermaid beach towel and a "princess" dress (she calls all dresses 'princess' dresses now). i would have to say they know our little girl pretty well!
grace is such a fun and sweet little girl. she is changing so much - she has so much personality. some of our favorite moments with grace are playing 'cinderedda' and now 'sweeping booty'. she loves barbie dvd's, (thanks to aunti jo and big john) so when she opened her new dvd from gammie, she said, "OH MY BAHBIE DBD!". she has this way of looking out of the side of her eyes that just makes you think she is up to something. she loves swimming (even got a 'swimsoup'-swimsuit- for her birthday) and reading and dancing, singing, and annoying her big brother.
we are so blessed to have this healthy, lovely little girl to raise and love for the rest of our lives.

what a beautiful cake for a beautiful princess. We love you Gracie and wish we could have been there to help you celebrate!! love, gammie
Wow, I can see so much change in her since you were here in March. I too love that sideways glance (as seen in the video you posted. I bet I've watced it a dozen times since you put it up.) I think her hair is much more blonde too. And I loved her laugh when I called and sang Happy Birthday to her. It's so awesome to hear grandkids react to something a grandparent does.
I was thinking how awesome a blog is for us who can't be there. Thanks for keeping it fresh with pix and stories of the kids.
That cake is impressive! It looks like she had a lot of fun on her birthday!
