Gracie's 6th Birthday

Gracie's birthday party was great. Kim invited us to have it at her house to take advantage of their pool. We had cold cut sandwiches, pasta salad, watermelon, and cucumbers from our garden.

The kids enjoyed swimming in the pool very much!

She requested just ONE thing for her birthday - a pair of boots. She went to a birthday party recently in which the theme was "Little House on the Prairie". Some of the other girls had prairie boots and she wanted some of her own. She was more than pleased when she pulled these out of the bag from Nana! Gracie is not one to hold back her emotions! ;)

She had a CandyLand cake! (Like the board game.) It was chocolate cake with homemade vanilla frosting, topped with as much candy as we could find! Just the way Gracie likes it! The more candy in her life the better, as far as she is concerned.

We sang our hearts out!

She blew out her candles.

Then the bickering began over who was going to get what piece! Jasmine and BJ played "rock, paper, scissors" to determine whom would get the large ice cream cone.

It was a great birthday party!
