Our precious niece, Gracie Kate, turned one year old on May 11, 2005. Everyone had lots of fun at her birthday party, especially the birthday girl!

Gracie loves her new red wagon!

Hey, are you taking pictures of ME?

Gracie in her green chair -- she didn't stay there long, though.

Opening presents...

We like books!

Gracie's got her very own golf clubs!

Ohhh, a pretty new dress (from Uncle Jake & Aunt Abby -- we're pretty sure it was Gracie's favorite!)

Pretty in pink!

Okay, Gracie's done with presents now!

Trying on her new shades

I'm so cool!

Wanna play some golf, Daniel?

Okay, so maybe the baby and stroller was Gracie's favorite present!

And this is all Gracie wanted to do for the rest of the afternoon!

Overalls for the country girl!

Thanks, everyone!

Gracie's birthday cake!

Do I really have to wear the hat?

Mmmm, bring the cake closer, Nana!

Not yet...we're singing to you!

And go!

Hmmm, not sure what I think about this icing...

Mmmm, pretty good!

Why is my finger all white?

Daddy had to give Gracie a little help...

Mmmm, thanks Dad!

Another bite, please!

Cousins Nolan and McKinley get a taste!

Okay, I'm done with this!

How come my cake tastes different when I'm on the floor?

Okay, I'm done again!

Wait, maybe I'm not done!

A birthday kiss from Mom!

And they're off to the bath!

Awww, a "sugar kiss" for the cabbage patch doll!
