The Family Birthday Celebration

Since Gracie and Ella have birthdays so close together, we picked a date in the middle for their family party so that people wouldn't have to travel to Macon twice. Today was the big day...Super Bowl Sunday and the girl's birthday party.

Gracie finally got the Snuggie she has so desperately wanted!

Ella loved her new Dora umbrella!

Gracie is a big fan of scotch tape, so she got a new supply for her crafts and projects. She even got a fancy desktop style dispenser!

Baby dolls continue to be one of Ella's favorite things! She loves her chicken baby that cheeps.

As soon as Ella opened her robe, she had to put it on immediately. She's also loving on her new Peek-A-Boo baby doll.

Finally...some Zhu Zhu pet accessories! They were impossible to find at Christmas, but now they are in the stores.

Yes, Ella is still wearing her robe at this point of the party.

Gracie got a cow baby doll, so she told Ella it will be good friends with her chicken baby.

Gracie loves opening presents! Who doesn't?! This one was from Ray and Mikie, our old neighbors from Kahoka.

This is an outfit for Gracie's American Girl knock-off doll. It is super cute and is made in Atlanta's school colors. It also has Gracie's name on it. She was very excited! Good idea, Mikie!

Princess and the Frog is one of Gracie's new favorites.

Aunt B gets each of the kids a Precious Moment figurine for their birthday every year.

Ella had a cupcake balloon bouquet for her birthday cake.

Gracie really wanted a Barbie cake, so I did my best.

Ella was puckering up to blow her candle out! Too funny!!

Lucas, Sydney and Madison were enjoying the cupcakes with Ella.

Do ya have a little cake in your mouth, Gracie???

Trying out the new Snuggie. It looks pretty cozy!
