Happy First Birthday!

It's really hard to believe now that Gracie's first birthday was almost a year ago! We went all out for her birthday as it was also her golden birthday. A lot of people came to celebrate with her. We had it at Grandma and Grandpa Mueller's because they have a nice big yard. The pool was set up and Grandpa even rented a tent because it was hot. She got a lot of neat gifts including her very own car and tricycle! Even Papa and Grandma Vicky came and surprised us!She had just started walking and really wasn't talking yet. She looked so pretty in her birthday dress. She did like her cake as I'm sure she will this year.

On Gracie's actual birthday last year, we went to the zoo for the first time. She loved it! We made sure she wore her birthday girl shirt so everyone would knowit was her special day. She walked hand in hand with Grandpa and Daddy through the exhibits. She loved the monkeys and petting the goats. She even toook home many souvenirs with her as the zoo is filled with mold-a-ramas.

Gracie was such a lucky girl that she also got to have a second birthday party down in Highland with Daddy's family. She got to hang her with her girls Maddie and Sydney. She got awesome presents down there too including some purses! Uncle Frog even gave Gracie a special shirt just from him. Again, she loved her cake even more this time and had no problem digging right in.
