12 Happy Birthday! 12

This past week Lily Grace turned 12 years old.  It was one of the most fun birthdays and really special.  
She kicked the week off with a sleepover with her best friend Pearl.  Those two giggled, ate, giggled, watched a movie, giggled, ate, played and giggled some more.  
The big day started with a requested breakfast of herb baked eggs, prosciutto and a strawberry smoothie. She woke to gifts ( a new unexpected set of golf clubs from mama and daddy), decorations and of course one excited dog!
She took in cinnamon caramel donuts to celebrate with her class and I carried her and Pearl Chick-fil-A for lunch.
She arrived home to a cute little spread for snack and a few more gifts.  
Once her homework was complete and she had eaten a little snack, she was off to the course with her daddy to try out those new clubs.  After working up an appetite we prepared her requested dinner and celebrated some more. 
Thank you to everyone who called, text, emailed, sent cards, gifts and wishes.  You were so sweet to think of Lily Grace on her birthday and I assure you she was blessed and touched by your kindness.
Daddy and I had so much fun celebrating with you, and we are enjoying watching you grow Gracie Cakes.  We are so proud of all that you do and all that you are becoming!  You are bigger than any birthday wish.  You are a cherished blessing!  We love you!
Gracie requested tacos for dinner when P slept over.  Pearl came the day before and brought LG a matching shirt for them to wear and celebrate.  Too funny! And yes, Molly was all up in the mix of things.

A fresh little island centerpiece for breakfast

So excited to come downstairs and find decorations and a new set of clubs.  (She had to forego breakfast in bed this year because her breakfast request  is baked and served in very hot individual gratin dishes.)


We loved these new candles.  You light the center wick and it shoots sparks and ignites 13 other candles on petals that open, spin and play Happy Birthday. Actually, they were so much fun, we did again at dinner. 



Before leaving for school

She had a putt off with her daddy before leaving for school.

Enjoying lunch with Pearl

Instead of cake, LG requested homemade mini lemon cheesecakes.

The snack spread she came home to after school.



Trying out her new clubs (even though it's still chilly here) after school with Daddy.
