We celebrated her birthday with family on Sunday. Grandma and Grandpa were here, along w/ her 2 Aunties and 1 Great-Aunt. It was so nice to be surrounded by family to help Gracie celebrate her first birthday. She, of course, loved all the attention and was exhausted after everyone left. Here are a few pictures from the big day....
The cake. My sister took a sketch I drew on a post-it note and turned it into this. Amazing!
Side view of the 'Under the Sea' cake.
Grace also had her own personal cake. Marcie gave this fish Angelina Jolie lips :-) Very cute.
The birthday girl in her birthday dress. I bought this around Christmas time. It was too cute to pass up.

The Gore Family a year in the making.
Gracie and Gramps, one of her favorite people. She's always watching him as you can see from this picture. He is her favorite playmate.
Opening gifts.
Her new toy from Daddy.
Singing Happy Birthday.
She wasn't very interested in destroying the cake. She doesn't like smashed food on her hands, which just cracks me up. She wouldn't touch the cake w/ her fingers, so I had to get her stared and then we gave her a spoon to trash the cake with and play in it while Aaron fed it to her.

All in all, a wonderful day. We love you Little G!!!

Grace, you look adorable in your outfit. Happy Birthday! You grow sweeter and cuter every day!
You look fabulous Jamie. I love the cake. Can you sister travel to Spokane for Kate's 3rd birthday?
I think it's hilarious that Grace hates food on her hands. So ladylike for so young.
