Sesame Street was Brought to You By the Number 2...

...And the Letter of the Day is "G".


I made her an "Elmo" cake. It's the first cake I've ever decorated, and maybe that's why Elmo turned out pink - not red. (I color corrected it in the picture below - but as you can see in the above picture - Elmo was really Pretty in Pink!) Gracie didn't seem to mind, and we just called the cake "Elma" all day anyway! :)


Gracie turned two on Thanksgiving this year. I can't think of a more perfect day for us to celebrate the blessing she is in our lives!


She was really excited to blow out her candles on this cake that Jody made for her.


Gracie had a few days of celebration. We spent Thanksgiving day with Grandma & Papa Tait and family.


Then on Saturday, we put on our eye patches and pirate hats and celebrated at Pirate Island with the Wiscombe Crew.


We played lots of games in the arcade and sharpened our shooting skills...


Gracie grew quite fond of the blue elephant, and rode the carousel until our tokens ran out...


Celebrating Gracie's 2nd Birthday has made me reflect on the past two years. It hasn't always been a breeze...


Thanks for hanging in there Gracie! :)

Dear Gracie,


We have come a long way. Both your father and I never knew how much love we could have for a 7 lb 4 oz package of joy. You have made our lives so happy. We are humbled that Heavenly Father has let us have the remarkable opportunity to be your parents. We love how you always wave to everyone and have a friendly smile to give. We love how you enjoy dancing and giving hugs. You make us better people. We love you. Happy 2nd Birthday Sweetheart!


Love, Mommy and Daddy
