3 years old

Here are a few quick images from Gracie's birthday yesterday. It was a nice day. 3 doesn't seem to quite get the once a year excitement and anticipation as well as 4 does and Grace is not really the most natural center of attention, but I definitely think she had fun. It was really nice to be with Mom and Pat and Ron and Laura throughout the weekend to celebrate another year of my little daughter's life.

Expressing her desire not to be photographed.



Some present opening. If it says Disney Princess, you know it's a big hit.






Her Cinderella cake. Grace loves Cinderella. She says Cin-da-wella, with the accent on the last 'wella' part.




Charlotte wearing the Cinderella dress that Grandma got for Grace. It fits Charlotte great, so Gracie only needs about 3 inches before it is perfect for her. Halloween, for sure.


Derek will be mad that this is not in color, but to me it just begged for black and white.
