Well this is the start of birthday week at our house for my Gracie. We had her super fabulous party for her Decatur friends, but sadly there was a camera incident with some water that wiped out my memory card. The camera is still a little wet, but appears it will be saved just needs a little more drying. I don't think that words could even express my devastation over losing the pictures. So this will be very wordy for us to at least have the memory of our wonderful party celebrating "Gracie McRee is 3".
Her party was this week. Her guests included: Abby, Towns, Cate, Sarah Laine, William, Sam, Anna Kate, Mary Emma, Anna Catherine, Mallary and Andrew and MeMe, Aunt Elaine and all the moms. The theme was based on her invitation - a cute 3 layer pink, orange and green whimsical cake and her turning 3. I recreated the cake on the invitation for her actual birthday cake.
We set up a children's long table and chairs in the living room. All the decorations were pink, orange, lime green and turquoise. The children got to make frames with stickers, color and have snack mix in paper cones from the cute little stand Alan made for a centerpiece. Alan also made a clown for the front door to welcome your guests and the clown could hold balloons. Gracie loves balloons so we had several around for her to enjoy!
They all had a blast playing and coloring and checking out all the toys in Gracie's room.
We also all had lunch. The children dined on Gracie's favorites - mini cheeseburgers, mac and cheese and fruit while the grown ups had chicken and pasta salad.
We all sang Happy Birthday to Gracie and she put on her super cute Birthday hat and had the yummy cake and ice cream. The party favors were homemade sugar cookies with a big 3 in icing on them and cake pops! Instead of flowers around, we had vases with big gingham paper 3's and cake pops.
In the scheme of things - losing a few pictures is not the end of the world and we still have a school party on Friday and her actual birthday on Saturday that I will be purchasing some of these for!!
More birthday posts to come...I love my sweet girl and hope she remembers this wonderful party!
