Lisa, Gracie, Anna and Tim

Well, Gracie is 2- as of April 3rd (life has been a little crazy lately so this is a bit delayed)!! It is amazing how fast those years can go. I remember taking her home from the hospital and marveling at all the cute faces she made in her sleep.

Now I marvel at how big she is getting and how sweet she is in her toddler bed, all the fun things she can do, and how many silly things she does each day that make me laugh out loud! Some of the fun things she is doing include: starting to count- 7,8,9- are her favorite, seeing her name written and saying the letters, playing with her dolls and changing their diapers, wrestling with her daddy (as well as stuffed animals), and dancing & jumping (which strangely look the same :)! She loves nursery, story time at the library, and eating the crunch berries out of Captain Crunch! She is the life blood of our home and we love her so much!!

We started the festivities with a little Easter egg hunt- Gracie and her little cousin weren't as interested in finding the eggs as they were opening the eggs and collecting the candy :)
Here they are on the stairs with their assorted egg collecting bags

My sister and 2 of her kiddos came to help us celebrate this fun occasion and we loved having them there

Here is Gracie's cake, thank heavens for store made cakes when life is a little out of hand!

And this is the birthday banner her older cousin made, I love it and so did Gracie!

By the time we got to eating cake, Gracie was a little tired and suprisingly she wasn't overly interested in eating it...This is Gracie decorated with the frosting, a little help from her cousin and she looked great!
