Our biological baby is growing up! Just look at that gorgeous young lady. And see that beautiful necklace she's wearing?
That was Mama and Daddy's gift to her: her first Sorrelli necklace, her first "real" jewelry! It's dainty and pastel -- perfect for the Pooch!
Katie and I found this beautiful note board at a thrift store, so we had fun collecting pictures, colored papers, and quotes to decorate it. Now it hangs in Gracie's room... but back to her party.
About a week after her birth date, Gracie invited a few of her young lady friends over for a DIY tea party. They prepared their own dainties, ate as Gracie opened gifts, and then repaired to the out of doors for dress up (of course).
A lovely table, don't you think?
Is there anything more beautiful than a mix-matched bouquet freshly picked from the gardens?
Ruth and Emmy look more and more like sisters the older they get... Two peas in a pod, those China-girls!
Gracie's party, though a thoroughly joyful occasion, was mingled with a little bit of sadness. Her dear friends Hannah and Elizabeth said goodbye, as they prepared to move a state away. We'll miss them so much, but can't wait to see them again! We love you, girls!
Aren't they a swell bunch?
