Happy Birthday Grace!!

We celebrated Grace's second birthday all weekend. She did a great job and is already asking for "another birthday"!
We started off the day by meeting Tim at McDonalds for lunch and time to play. She is now quite comfortable with the slide and is so cute coming down it!
After dinner (Corn on the cob - her favorite) we had cupcakes and presents!



She got a new "little kitchen" and some play food. Also, she got an apron and oven mitt to match Mommy's! Here she is baking some bread!



Aunt Monica called on the video phone to wish Grace a happy birthday. We were also able to get her on the phone to watch Grace open her gift on Sunday. What fun!




On Sunday we had some family over to celebrate Grace's birthday. Grace loved all her gifts and loved playing with everyone. To name just a few, she is now set to go shopping at Walmart with her new shopping cart, learn to potty train right along with Potty Baby, and play in her "little kitchen" with all her new play food and cooking utensils! Oh, and take pictures of it all on her new camera! Thanks to all who love her so much!!



A little photo shoot with Grandma and Grandpa Cooper.

We had our Fall Festival at church on Sunday. The theme was a tailgate party so we pulled out all our Colts gear!
We weren't sure if Grace would ride the train, but by the end of the day, she was doing it on her own, and of course, threw a fit when it was time to go!




On Saturday Tim was with the JV and Varsity volleyball teams as they competed in a tournament at Clinton Prairie High School. Both teams won, and as an "accidental" celebration, on their way home, they somehow got INTO the Tipton County Pork Festival Parade!!! Here they are in their bus, waving from the windows and yelling at the crowds! After a little confusion, (You can imagine! ...Who are these guys?!?!) they were even announced at the grandstand and showed off their trophies! At the end of the parade they just kept right on going out of town and on home! As Grace would say, "Silly volleyball team!"
