Welcome to Grace's Clubhouse!

Minnie. Pink. Polka-dots. Galore.

Thanks again to everyone who came out to help us celebrate Grace's 2nd birthday! And huge thanks to our wonderful families for all of you help leading up to, during and afterward. Not a feat I could have done alone due to my larger-than-normal-self these days. Extra special thanks to my Mom who stuck around to lend a hand a few days longer. No idea what I would've done without you! What a fabulous birthday party and great celebration to break in our new home though, and well worth the exhaustion and clean-up afterward. Grace had the time of her life meeting Minnie Mouse for the first time, and was opening new presents for days post-party. Such a blessed little girl having so many good friends and supportive family members who love her so much. She was sugar-filled and happy for at least a week post party!

Minnie and Mickey ears to take home. 

Thank you Jodi, Mom and Grandma Faye for helping me put together the silverware the night before! Would've been a lot more fun with a glass of wine :)

The over-the-top cake :) Delicious though, so no regrets!

Adult drink station. We went a tad overboard on the wine.
Who wants to come has a drink (or several) with me in a few weeks?!

Standard bounce house fun.
Grace was SO excited after it was set-up, she actually got sick from bouncing so much! Haha
Thankfully it didn't happen again during the party... 

The birthday girl ready to party!

Thank you Dad for my awesome party! And for wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt :)

Minnie (aka Aunt Lolo) makes her entrance!
Thanks again Lauren for being such an AWESOME Minnie Mouse.
The party obviously wouldn't have been the same without you!

Loving Minnie Mouse..

Grace, Kylie and Cam loving on Minnie.
My biggest regret is not getting a group shot of the kids!
She had so many wonderful friends come out for the evening.

"Happy birthday to Grace..."

Minnie and baby Elle Marks.

Thank you two for actually wearing the ears! Haha.

Grace seeing her "big gift" from the Livingston family for the first time!

Her very own PINK ESCALADE BOP-BOP! The license plates are probably my favorite part.
The front is an Illinois plate that reads "UGIRLS2" (copy of LGIRLS4 from my growing up),
and the rear is a Michigan plate that reads "GMAC4" (for Gracie Mack and Zach's football number).
So awesome.

She was beyond excited. Not just for the car, but also for the Birthday Bear and Duck that sat in the passenger seat to greet her. 

Auntie Lolo showing her how its done.

And they're off!

Gaga and Gracie ridin' dirty.

Here are a few videos that were too cute not to include as well!

Grace meeting Minnie:

Singing Happy Birthday to Grace. I was so proud of her blowing out the candles (and keeping her cool during the song)! Such an overwhelming moment to a 2 year old I'm sure:

The big birthday surprise:
