Gracie's Birthday Party

I was sick and so many people were out of town during the week of Gracie's birthday, that we just decided to do an immediate family kind of thing on the day of her birthday and then we had a party for her friends this last Friday evening. It was a Twilight party. And the girls were so excited. One of my very talented sisters made the cake for us. The apple represents the first book, the flowers represent the second, the torn ribbon around the bottom represents the third and the chess pieces represent the fourth.

Here is the birthday girl with her cake.

Here she is opening presents with specials guests in the background watching.

All her friends that came.

And here we sing...Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Gracie....Happy Birthday to you.

Now make a wish and blow out the candles.

The girls got to make their own Bella bracelet from the third book. And then they got to take a picture with our special guests.


Thanks to Edward, Jacob and Bella for stopping by. Gracie had a great party!

TJ's Baptism

TJ was baptized today. His Great Grandpa Glenn Johnson baptized him. He was very excited for this event. Here is TJ and his Great Grandpa, in their white clothes.

And here we all are. Gracie wanted to wear white too.

Afterward, TJ came up with the "WOW" expression on his face. It was great.

And here is my handsome boy afterward.


He's such a looker. I am a lucky girl. I have 2 great kids, and I love them very much.
