Birthday Pictures

As promised here are some pictures from Grace's birthday. I will have more of her birthday evening (opening presents and playing with new toys) later. Since my Mom has been here I have barely even touched our camera. I just take what she has and copy them to our computer!

First stop of the day was Amanda's house to use her studio so we could get pictures of Grace. We did 1 year, cake smashing, and Christmas pictures. I am going to wait until closer to Christmas to put the Christmas pictures on here and just focus on her birthday for today.

We started off with balloons!!

{she loves to take her bows off!}

{I think she looks so grown up in this one}

{sneaky, sneaky!}

Then we took a few in her Christmas dress then moved on to the cake smashing pictures!!

{hmmm.... what is this?}

{ooooh, yummy!}

After we were finished with pictures (and the icing was cleaned up) we headed to lunch. We stopped by Dustin's office and then walked next door to Chili's. Grace told us she wanted pizza (she said it twice so that is what she got!).

After she finished her pizza and broccoli we asked them to sing happy birthday to her.

And they brought her a special dessert - chocolate shake with whip cream and sprinkles!

{it was very yummy!}

{all gone...}

Then it was time to head back home so she could get rest up for more fun!!

{so tired I think I could fall asleep in the car}

My Mom has put a few albums of Grace on her Myspace page. You can click on the following links to view them:

And I have a few cute videos I want to put on here but for some reason I cannot get them to upload right now.

Party Prep

Grace is turning 1!

We are getting things ready for her party. Today and tomorrow are being devoted to her cake and a few errands today. Tomorrow we have no plans other than decorating her cake which will probably take a good portion of the day. It should be a fairly short day for Dustin tomorrow so I think he is going to take Grace to the park and then maybe bring pizza home so we don't have to cook. Her cake is going to be so cute!! I will be sure to put lots of birthday party pictures up!

In other news, she is growing up but is staying about the same size at the same time. We had her 12 month check-up yesterday and she has not gained weight in a few months. Probably all the running around she is doing! In the past year she has grown 8 1/2 inches taller and has gained 9 lbs 7 oz.
