Retro post...Grace's 4th birthday in September!!

I call this a retro post because it's been 4 1/2 months and I reailze that I never posted pictures of Grace's birthday. In my defense, we'd moved in barely a month prior and were "kind" of settled...and the week following this is when Nathaniel got really sick with his ears and throat...and then it was the holidays it seems like - craziness!!

So, here is Grace's brithday...at our new house in Grants Pass.

Both great-grandmas came up with Grandpa Bruce and Grandma Lorrayne.

We had lasagne for dinner - as per Grace's request - which was odd because she's never cared for it all that much.

Nathaniel was very attentive and helpful as Grace opened her presents - he read her every card.

Being oh so serious

Grandma Darlene brought her this ceramic kitty cat doll that Grace loved to play with at Grandma's house...Grace was so happy. She is very careful with it, but it always gets its turn taking a ride in her stroller.

She was so excited that Grandma had brought back this teddy bear!  Grandma had been at our house a few nights before while Grandpa had gone to a class at Home Depot and she'd been working on this cute crocheted bear. Grace had tried to take off with it (though it was missing arms and legs and face, I think)
