How we celebrated!

To continue the celebration of Gracie's birthday - on Friday she had a class party at school. We made sugar cookies that were little circles this time and put 3's on them in yummy frosting for the special snack. We had a backyardigans theme for this one. Gracie took all her school friends a little goody bag and they wore backyardigan masks.

On Saturday, we had a big day. When Gracie woke up - she requested pancakes, so she dined on those and strawberries. Next was the Auburn game so we had to watch that disaster for Daddy. Then it was off for big time fun!!! We went to Huntsville to Build-A-Bear. Gracie built her bear, picked out a sound, filled and fluffed him, picked out an outfit and then named this black bear with it's nurses scrubs FRENCHY! Ha! (We really love the Fancy Nancy Books and there is a dog named Frenchy in one of them). Never in one million years would I have imagined this would have been the bear that she built!

Anyways, after we built our bear, it was time for dinner. Gracie's choice....she wanted cheeseburgers, french fries and ketchup. We were happy to oblige her request at Cheeburger Cheeburger. She also scored a chocolate milkshake in there to wash down her meal as a birthday treat.

We came home and much to her surprise there were presents from mommy and daddy to open. She had opened meme's and aunt elaine's earlier in the week and forgot she was supposed to get more! She got games, play doh, jammies, a dr. kit, puzzles and some arts and crafts goodies.

And last but not least, this guy showed up....more on him later!
