Party #2

We had Grace's 2nd party on Saturday evening at our house with family. Eric and I spent all day cleaning and picking up! Our house only looks that good when we're having company. ha ha Mom and Dad took the girls to McDonalds and to play with Reesi while we cleaned up and got ready. Of course, the girls loved that! We had a 2nd cake which was still a rainbow theme, as Grace had requested, but this one was a "rainbow of flowers". They were so good! When I brought them home on Friday the girls just kept going on and on about how beautiful they were. Grace said at one point that they were "more beautiful than I ever thought they would be". She kept going over to the counter to look at them, at least that is what I thought she was doing. But then she told me that "I can't keep my nose off of them". They also tasted better than just about any cake I've ever had. If you live in the Nashville area I'll give you the name of the girl that made them. They were awesome. Anyway, the party went well. Grace had fun playing with her Papaw (Eric's dad) and enjoyed seeing her Aunt Angela (Eric's sister) too. My parents, Joni, Reesi, Julie and Jason were also there. Again, Lyla kept getting mad when anyone would say it was Grace's birthday or Grace's cake. She finally smiled when Mimi (my mom) gave her a present of her own to open. Grace got a Leapster from Mimi and Papoo, a Disney easy bake oven and handmade blanket from Papaw and Grandma Gardner and a new outfit from Aunt Julie and Jason. It was a good night!
