Gracie is Two!!!

Gracie turned two last sunday! We had a little family party for her and she had so much fun playing with balloons, blowing out candles, eating cake, and opening presents! She got some cute little outfits, some adorable fashion boots, some dress-up dresses, and a rocking horse that moves and makes sounds. In the video below, you can kinda hear her yell "he-ha!" when she begins to open her last present (that's what she calls the horse).
Gracie has grown up so much in just the last few months! Her little personalitly has exploded and she's become such an entertaining part of each day. She does the most random things to entertain herself and it just kills me! She is very dramatic ( a lot like her sister) and likes to dance and play dead a lot. Her favorite game is to play "dance party" where we put on music and dress ups and dance around the living room. She still doesn't talk a whole lot but is finally learning more words and becoming easier to understand. We all love her and enjoy watching her. Who needs t.v. when Gracie's around!

This first pic was suppose to be a family pic, but my mother-in-law was trying so hard to get Gracie to look and smile that she cut off heads a lot. This was the best of them!







For my mom


These are some videos of Gracie opening the presents that my mom mailed to her yesterday. It's difficult to keep clothes on her anymore so that's why she's naked. She was so excited to open presents that I don't think she really cared what was in them! But she loved everything!

Halloween 09

I love Halloween and I'm just a little bit sad that it's already over. (Emphasis on the "just a little bit." Walking all over the place all day can wear a pregnant lady out!) So here are some pics of our Halloween festivities!

First, we made cookies!



Then, we carved pumpkins.


You can see that Gracie was more interested in coloring on herself than decorating the pumpkins!

The finished product. Rylee drew a bat and a ghost on the smaller one that she wanted me to cut out. You can see the bat in the picture and a little bit of the ghost on the far right of the small pumpkin.


Then, it was time to play dress up and off to trick-or-treating. We first went to downtown Chico, then to the church trunk-or-treat, then off to a Halloween Party at a friends house to finish the night. I decided to not go with themes this year and the kids picked out their own costumes (although, I did help Gracie with hers.)



I tried to get Gracie to wear the hat, but she just kept being funny with it and covering her face, and then wouldn't wear it at all! So, we decided to stick with the pony and a pretty. But we love the cape!

We had tons of fun and accumulated a whole lot of candy, including chocolates! Woo-hoo!
