Happy Birthday Grace

Thursday was Grace's fifth birthday. She had a mountain of gifts to plow through which she did with gusto before breakfast. Daddy called before school to wish his little princess Happy Birthday.

Then she took pink cupcakes to school to share with her friends. Her treats were in the afternoon as there is a little boy with the same birthday and he brought doughnuts. Grace has the dubious honor of being the youngest kid in the class (by 12 hours).

That evening we went to CICI's for dinner and DQ for a birthday sundae. I was sure i had candles at home but alas, we had to make due with tea lights. DOH

Friday we traveled north do Dallas to the American Girl Place. Grace had some birthday money to spend including money from mommy and daddy. We had lunch at Panera's and dessert at the Bistro at the American Girl Place. They brought out her chocolate shake, announced her birthday to the whole place and sang to her. She was in heaven.

I think she enjoyed her birthday. Now we are in the process of writing thank yous. I know she feels grown up as every new thing is followed by, "Because I'm five now mommy." Such a big girl.
