Happy Birthday to Grace!

Gracie baby turned 1 last week! She's my favorite one year old in the whole world! :) I don't know whether or not she realized it was her special day, but Sophia had fun counting down the days and telling everyone about it! Despite her birthday being 6 days before our move, we managed to have a party with as many friends as our apartment could handle! I originally planned to have the theme be "You are my sunshine" because Grace loves be outside, but in the past month or so, she has taken such a big preference to playing with anything round, I changed it to polka dots/balls. We had balls, bubbles, balloons, ate meatballs (among other things), and had a good time celebrating Grace!

Sophia liked helping open the presents

Cake face! 

This picture is fuzzy, but best captures how she handled the cake. She got a little messy, poking her fingers in the frosting, but wasn't interested in the actual cake - even after I cut her little pieces.  Not sure if she was full or didn't like it or wanted to play instead of eat.

 haha I love this. It's so triumphant!

I wanted to be sure and get a family picture at the party since we had forgotten to do that at Sophia's 1st birthday party. Unfortunately, we didn't have the best cooperation from a certain family member...

Happy Birthday, Grace!
