Grace's 5th bday

Grace's birthday celebration began on Friday (the day before her actual birthday).  Chris and I got to go to her class and show pictures and talk about Grace.  And then Grace walked around the "sun" (the candle) 5 times.  

"The Earth goes round the sun, the Earth goes round the sun.
  It takes 12 months to go around and then Grace turns 1...."

On Saturday we had a Pizza and Play-Dough party with some kids from her class.  They made cookies to take home with them and then had a Play-Dough session.  There were about 15 kids and they all really got into the cookies and the play dough. 

Grace requested a "Wizard of Oz" cake.
 Please note the ruby slippers, yellow brick road, and green cupcake Emerald City.


Cookie-making time.

After the party the girls cuddled up with MeMa on the couch for some much needed rest before Grace's special birthday dinner of clams and Hummel hot dogs. 
3 tired ladies- Sarah Elizabeth is actually asleep....

It was a great 5th birthday.  I can't believe my 1st baby is FIVE!
