Girl Scouts 100th Anniversary Celebration - Washington, DC - June 9, 2012

This past Saturday Gracie and I took a bus trip to Washington, DC to celebrate Girl Scouts 100th Anniversary. Unfortunately, nobody from our troop went to the event (that I know of) but Brownie Troop 11357 was nice enough to let us tag along with them. Below are some pictures of our trip.

Gracie's Birthday Celebration at School (6/4/12)

I met up with George at West Creek Elementary School (Gracie's school) today to pass out cupcakes and drinks to Gracie and her classmates in recognition of her birthday. I think Gracie was more excited to take the extra cupcakes to her favorite teachers and it got her and two friends out of class for 10 minutes.

Gracie's 8th Birthday

After we all went to Red Robin we headed back to the house and relaxed while the kids ran-rampid! They entertained us with getting dressing up (with all new dresses that were hanging in Gracie's closet that had tags on them mind you - you can imagine the look on my face, right?) and their version of choreographed dancing - it was very entertaining. Gracie got to open her birthday presents and later that night the girls watched movies, ate popcorn and even managed to squeeze in rootbeer floats! All in all, I would say Gracie had a nice birthday.

Lots of goodie - Littlest Pet Shop is what Gracie requested from mommy & daddy this year

Gracie also got a nice outfit and a water slip & slide from the twins

Gracie picked out the ladybug cake (which is cupcakes that you are suppose to just tear and remove - it was a mess and the icing was super thick (like 2+ inches thick) and kind of hard - I would not recommend buying these whatsoever.
