Last Saturday was Grace's birthday party.
Grace waiting for her guests.
She's been eagerly anticipating this party for most of the Summer.
She invited 10 little girlfriends and everyone could come(they ranged in age from 6-8).
We went to Build-a-Bear, and each child picked out an animal(Grace chose a Panda, no surprise as she collects them).
There were 5 little girls that chose ponies, they were popular.
The animals had a fabric heart put inside, then stuffed, then the girls cleaned and brushed them.
After that, they picked out an outfit or accessories.
We had a specific budget. The girls were great about it.
Then home for cake (the purple bear was Grace's choice), our good friend Carla made it for her.
It was delish.
The tiny bears alongside the cake were white chocolate(tinted blue), and they were a hit.
11 little girls plus Will at the table.
He loved it!
Fun party and wonderful kids, they really had a great time. And we did too. :)
And next Wednesday we start school...where has the time gone?!

Hi Gail....and happy birthday to Grace. She is such a lovely young lady. Looks like a wonderful party! I can't seem to sleep, so I'm up reading my favorite blogs! Your beach photos are truly magical....
That looks like such a fun time. Build a bear is such a fun place for children in that age group!!
I'm such an admirer of your color pop. Beautiful.
Honestly, that looks like the perfect party! Grace could not look more beautiful (love her dress!), and that cake? Oh my! Just darling! I also LOVE your home decor- so cozy and welcoming!
What a perfectly fun party for Miss Grace and her friends- that cake is too adorable! Enjoy your last weekend before school~

Happy Birthday to Grace! Loved seeing a glimpse of her party... we did Build-A-Bear for the first time last spring and the Tongginator loved it! Unfortunately, she doesn't have your Grace's taste and refused to choose a panda to add to my... er... I mean HER... collection. *grin*
What a wonderful party!!!! Great captures of it!
Looks like Grace had an amazing party! what wonderful memories for all the children. the photos capture the joy :)
So fun! Grace, of course, looked beautiful as always. I LOVE the bear cake too...your friend did a great job! Such lovely photos of a lovely party. Oh, and one last thing...I love your dining room chairs! :)

Oh, what a fun birthday. Build-a-bear is the best. Love the color scheme of this party. Very "grown-up" but just enough little girl left in it too. And what a great looking cake!
I with you all feeling a little sniffle at our growing up girls. Tell me if you find that pause button. And enjoy the last bits of summer!!

Ummm.....gee....I really need to proof before I hit publish. :=/
What a wonderful way to celebrate Grace's birthday! We had Natalie's party at Build-a-Bear when she turned 5. It was so much fun. I agree with Wanda... when you find the "pause" button, please let me know too.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend! Enjoy your last few days left before school.
Hugs...
Grace

What a fun and festive party! I can't wait for the day to host a girl party and to be honest I'm sure Jennifer's brother will be there too just as Will was there for Grace's. :) A brothers love is never ending no matter older or younger.
