Her celebration started Friday nigh with a sleepover at home with 8 girls. So as not to bother the party we had 2 of the other kids, Georgia and Daphne, overnight and Gabbie and Grant went to Hoyt and Beth's, the other grandparents. It was your typical late night sleepover with a bunch of giggly girls. How fun!
Sunday afternoon was her family party. Lots of kids, presents and of course a cake made by Jennifer.
Our present to Lacie was an overnight stay at our house last night followed by a trip to The American Girl Doll Store in Dallas today. As most girls would be she was quite excited at the prospects of picking out her first very special American Girl Doll. On the way home last night we stopped for dinner at Chilis along with Mimi. After breakfast this morning we peaked at dolls on the internet before we headed out to "the store". I was pretty sure she had already decided what she wanted from our internet browsing. I had hoped for one who looked just like her but she had other ideas. She fell in love with a beautiful Native American Indian doll named Kaya in a blue dress. Of course the doll came in a brown dress, the blue one being sold seperately. But it was her special present and we left the store with doll and blue dress.
On the way home we treated her to lunch at The Rainforest Cafe. Of course her new best friend also attended.
If I haven't mentioned before (and I am sure I have) Lacie is a very special young girl to us. She is of course beautiful but also kind, thoughtful, smart, sensitive, caring and just an all around good child who has never given any of us any trouble. She is the product of her great up bringing by Jennifer and James and a true gift from God.
Happy Birthday Lacie - we love and treasure you!
