Big 5

Better late than never. This is our family motto. So it makes sense that I am just now blogging in March about Gracie's birthday in January.
5 years old and 5 celebrations.

The first one was at Chuck E Cheese...


No one sports an inflatable crown like my princess!

 The 'before' pic of Gracie standing in the "ticket blaster"... there is no 'after' pic since I was consoling her as tears poured out of her eyes - it was a traumatic experience for Gracie :(

 Shooting hoops with her cousin remedy - look at that concentration!

 Gracie's reaction to everyone singing "happy birthday" to her.
 This is what a real guitar hero looks like!

 Gracie was pretty excited to open her presents!

The second celebration was at home with family.
 Gracie's newest cousin (on the eylander side) was born a month before and this was Gracie's first meeting with him. I think she is going to be a wonderful big sister!

 The third celebration was at Gracie's preschool where she shared cupcakes with all of her friends.

The fourth celebration was at Red Robin where we treated Gracie to a birthday dinner. We got a thumbs up when the sundae arrived.

And the final celebration was a little dance we all did when we told Gracie that she was going to be a big sister!!! Yep, you read that right.
