Beautiful Birthday Girl!!!

Four years ago at 4:49 pm on January 30th this little cutie was born! Happy 4th Birthday Gracie Jo!

We started out the morning by putting sticker faces on balloons! For lunch we had Happy Meals and ice-cream cones!

Gracie waited all day for Daddy to get home from work so that the real party could start. Pin the tail on the donkey was a hit once again!
We had pizza and breadsticks for dinner - Gracie's favorite!!!
She was so excited to blow the candles out on her cake!!!
I haven't figured out where to buy helium balloons here so I bought this balloon at Walmart that is just filled with air. Of course she liked it because there were Disney princesses on it! Plus, since it is air-filled I saved it to use again another time.
Bring on the presents!!!Her expressions of excitement are always the best!
Lindsey crying because she got in trouble for opening one of Gracie's presents. Poor thing! It will always be tough for her since Gracie and Cooper's birthdays are only a couple weeks apart. We tried to make it fun for all of them though and Gracie was so good about sharing all of her presents with Lindsey.Cute Little Roo!Sharing with little sister. :)
Posing in some new outfits!The next morning enjoying the birthday gifts again! Thank you everyone for the gifts and phone calls/skype calls. You made her day so much fun! It seemed like the week before her birthday, packages kept coming in the mail and when I would tell her that they were for her birthday she would say, "I'm getting so cited (excited)!" It was so cute.
Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!! I can't believe you're 4!

One low point for me was while taking pictures. I get so frustrated when I try to take pictures of the kids and they won't look at the camera or stay still, etc. and after I took one picture Gracie said all worried, "Did you like that picture Mom?" It broke my heart! I told her that I love every picture of her, but I've got to learn to keep my mouth shut when I take pictures and not get frustrated when they don't turn out.

  5. Happy birthday, Gracie! It looks like she had a fun day. I have always thought that Gracie looks like Kirsten, and in the photos in this post Lindsey looks like Elizabeth.
    I also get frustrated when taking pictures of kids. I blame it mostly on my slow camera.

  6. Happy Birthday Gracie! Can't believe our girls are four this year! I get frustrated too when they don't look at the camera and London always asks to see it when I'm done and watches my face. Your house looks beautiful! I love it!
