Grace's Birthday!
I can't believe she's already 2!
Two of Grace's friends have birthdays the same week as her, so last week we had a party in the park with friends. Here are the pictures:
On her actual birthday, we went into her room after we heard her awake singing Happy Birthday to You and had all her presents out in her room. She was excited!
She especially loved the Thomas pillow pet, which I knew she would. We have a Thomas the Train book that she loves to read. The Fred Meyer that we go to a lot always has all their pillow pets piled up at the end of the cash registers and every time we go she has to stop and give Thomas a hug. She was always so sad to have to leave them there. Normally they are $30, so I really was not planning on getting her one, but a couple of weeks ago a friend told me she had seen them at Rite Aid for 75% off! Woo hoo! I was so excited to get it for her birthday, and she LOVED it!
She's also loving the play kitchen. Her grandparents got her some pretend food and shopping baskets and things to go with it.
That day we decided to do all the things that Grace loves. After her favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast, she played with her new toys for awhile and then we went to the park. She loves the swings:
After lunch and a nap we headed to the zoo with her cousins and Grandma:
She was even brave and fed the lorikeets:
Later that night we had cake.
Today after lunch I let her have a piece of left over cake. She begged me for "Happy Birthday!" and when I started singing she wanted "fire on it" meaning a candle! So so funny. So, I indulged her and lit one candle and sang "Happy Birthday." Funny girl.
We had a full and fun day. We would have squeezed in swimming too if there were more hours in the day because she LOVES swimming. We are going to try to go this weekend.
I'll post some of the videos of the day next so you can see how adorable she is!

Digging in to cupcakes!
She was even able to get on and off this toy all by herself!
This was the best shot I could get of all three birthday girls. At least Gracie's smiling!

Listening to everyone sing Happy Birthday:
Blowing out the candles. She did pretty well with one, but needed some help on the other!
