Life's A Ball!!: March 2011

So we celebrated Gracelee's second birthday this past Saturday! I cannot believe how time flies!

We celebrated in style... Sweets and Treats in neon hot pink, green, purple and blue.

I have to admit... it turned out pretty cute!

The candy bar was a huge hit!

We had homemade cupcakes, with the choices of Hot fudge sundae with a peanut butter cream filling and marshmallow frosting topped with heath toffee bits,

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough filled cupcakes with chocolate buttercream and a homemade fondant zebra decoration

And Gracelee's favorite (and momma's too) was the funfetti cupcake filled with a red vine candy filling topped with vanilla buttercream and pearls... oh-so-girly!

She has been waiting for this party for a looooonnnng time, bless her heart. She had sung "Happy Birthday" to many of her friends and she was so ready for her turn to blow out the candles!!

She was so excited that she even sang it to herself! LoL!!

Pure joy and elation!

And she even shared some with momma! Sweet girl!

Cousin Kennedy came in town for the party... these two girls have the best time playing together and are sure to be great friends as they grow up together! Kennedy is going to be a great big sister to her baby sister circa August or September 2011... Yay!!!

As you can see, Gracelee has 2 Aunts that are ready and willing to spoil at a moments notice! Gracelee loves her Aunt Amanda and her Auntie Ke so much! And it is very evident that she enjoys the time she spends with them!!!

Gracelee, look at how blessed you are, my love!

You have so many people that love you!

So many people that want to celebrate you... even those who couldn't make it sent their very best wishes and love you so much!

Caleb is such a sweet boy, and dotes on Gracelee all the time! I love him so much! It is so nice to see a gentle soul in a little boy who can be so sweet and gentle and then whack a Pinata with all his might! Caleb sat right next to Gracelee and held her hand and patted her back...

and really melted my heart!

Jess and Kevin, you are such dear friends and are such an inspiration! Thank you for raising an incredible son and sharing him! Gracelee is a product of her environment and your son has been a WONDERFUL role model! For that we are truly grateful!

"Two"- tu fantastic!

Isn't she cute?

My Tom-boy, rhinestone, glittery Princess!

The park was so wonderful! The kids seemed to have a BLAST!!!

She did the slide and the swing all by herself!

Next up... Pinata time!

It was a homemade pinata by yours truly...

This event was fun to watch and participate in!

And then leave it up to Uncle B and Uncle TJ to invent one of the most fun games ever!

Introducing: Confetti Egg baseball!

We decided to do presents back home since the wind was blowing a little and we really just wanted the kids to play... As I have said before, I really don't want her to be present oriented, so this was a good way to get around that...

We had family over for pizza to watch her open, but clearly, she was not in the mood...

She got some REALLY cool stuff, though!!!!
