Look Who Is ONE Now!!


November 26th marked Gracie's FIRST BIRTHDAY!
I can't believe our baby is growing up so quickly. I'll never forget the first time I held her in the hospital - it was the most spectacular moment! I always thought it was appropriate that she was born right around Thanksgiving - because she has given us SO MUCH for which to be Grateful! She melted our hearts a year ago. And now she continues to make us laugh and enjoy each new day watching her learn and grow!


Gracie could barely hold back her excitement as she waited for her guests to arrive for the party. She even kept most of her sponge rollers in her hair!




We celebrated with friends and family. Everyone looked STUNNING in the Party Hats!


Gracie received many sweet and thoughtful gifts. Thanks to everyone for making her day so special!




She really liked listening to everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to her. She was a little hesitant with the Cake at First...But Then...


She realized with THAT much sugar in front of her...The Party Had Just Begun!


Enjoying the Party with Gwama and Papa Tait.


Having Fun with Grandpa and Grandma Wiscombe.


And in other Gracie Good News, our one-year-old took her first steps just days before her birthday. She is getting braver and faster everyday.

How fun! It looks like you helped Gracie live it up for her first birthday, way to go. That strawberry shortcake cake is awesome, I can see why she was so excited for it. Good luck with the walking. We're excited she has taken those first big steps. Have a wonderful Christmas Season!
