Really 4

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!

  
My cute friend Amber (from work) wrote this darling poem for the invite.  Gretchen has been playing the baby so long, 
that we decided to get her excited about being the "mom" instead.

Here are a few of our guests for the 
Baby Shower themed-Birthday Party


Just so you know... I decorated the cupcakes... Easy-peasy.

Gretchen has had such fun with her gifts.  Thank you all.
She and Jake played all afternoon.  I got a kick out of how they included each of the gifts in their play.  Jake especially enjoyed the cake set:)

When we were taking her friends home she was very concerned about where her babies bottle was.  She had Mike looking all around.  When she spotted it she said, "undermind, I see it"

Today Gretsie was packing her diaper bag and we were all 
sitting around in the living room.  
She gasped, "Thank you for the heart-attack!"
Me: What?
Gretchen: First I didn't find the wipes & now I did.
Any mother knows how you must always pack the wipes:)

Gretchen is really coming out of her shell.  We are excited to see what the next year will bring.  We love you sissy.

I am so glad you posted pics. Mom told me all about the party and it was fun to see all the cute things she described. I LOVE LOVE the picture of Gretchen in her skirt. She looks way too grown up though.
