Sisterly Love


Grace loves to play mommy with Ava which means always trying to pick Ava up and carry her places. This drives Ava crazy and she usually screams really loud. So now everytime Grace gets too close to her she screams out of fear of being picked up. Grace went to spend a few days with her Grammy before she and PaPaw left to go on vacation. Ava really missed Grace while she was gone because everytime I would put Ava in the car or go anywhere in the house she would start calling out "sissy" and "Gracie" in hopes of her showing up. When Grace came home after her stay Ava couldn't get enough of her. She wouldn't leave her side and didn't care at all if Grace tried to pick her up or do anything that would normally drive her to scream. She even climbed on the couch to watch Handy Manny with Grace. This was so cute.

Princess Party

Grace has been asking for a princess party for the last 2 years. I finally obliged her this year. We had a princess party at home with our playgroup friends and cousins. The weather was beautiful so all my craft plans mostly went out the window. The kids did make their own treasure box. Which held all that great pinata candy.

Grace's Knight in Shining armor even showed up with a chocolate rose for Grace. His name is Hunter and he is so cute and this was so sweet.

The girls were all there to help blow out the candles.

The princess had to have a castle cake. Thanks to Cakes By Allison It tasted just as great as it looked.

Grace's birthday weekend ended with dinner at her favorite "Fire" restaurant as she calls it. We ate with our friends Beau, Julie and Avery at Kyoto in Rowlett. Grace and Avery had a good time.
