I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

Today Grace had her first dress rehearsal for her upcoming holiday dance recital. We weren't sure how much Grace would actually dance, but she did wonderfully! And she was so excited to be wearing makeup and be up on stage.

Grace's 3rd Birthday Party

 
For her third birthday party, Grace decided to combine her two favorite mice: Minnie Mouse and Chuck E. Cheese!
 
She had been asking for a CEC party since April, when we went to another friend's party there and had a blast together. At first I was a little disappointed that I wouldn't get to pick a theme, decorate the house, or make themed food and party favors. Then reality set in, and I realized how awesome it was to complete party planning in three steps: reserve the party online, order the cake, and select party favors.
 
On the day of the party, I think I was almost as excited as Gracie! I was like a kid on Christmas morning... anxiously awaiting the party. I couldn't wait to see her Minnie Mouse cake or watch her play at CEC with her friends. And nothing about the party disappointed! Everyone showed up, despite the crazy rain, and all the kids had a great time.
