you who don't know this week I had 5 birthdays in my family. My moms was the 12th, my niece Alison's was the 13th, mine is the 14th, Gracie's and my brother-in-law Dustin's was the 16th.
Allthough the other birthdays are pretty cool Gracies was the most enjoyable and exhausting. Let me just tell you a little about my wonderful daughter. Her due date was the 11th but she just didn't want to come out. And still to this day she takes her time and runs on her own schedule. On the 15th I went to my dr appointment in tears just wanting her out. So the great doctor that I have said she would induce me. So we broke my water all was going well the I got a fever. What we thought were signs of labor was actually the flu. So much fun!! After 15 hours of labor (but heavily drugged up) My cervix just wouldn't budge over an 8. At 6 a.m. the doctor gave a choice of getting preped for a c-section now or wait an hour see what happens, but most likely still need to do a c-section. So that's what we did. We preped and at 7:04 a.m. our sweet little Donna Grace was born 8 lbs 3 oz and 19 in long.
Now 7 years later we have a beautiful little young women who is a big help with her little bothers. And is the apple of her parents eyes.
So yesterday to celebrate we had 6 of Gracie's friends come over and play games, cake and ice cream you know all the birthday stuff. One game we played was pin the horn on the unicorn. Just a side note I can't believe the great job Elise did on the unicorn. She is an awesome artist and young women in my ward that I asked to draw the unicorn for me. I
posted a 
picture of it. It blows me away. Thanks Elise!! The girls had a blast I think it was funnier to see who got the furthest away. We also made glitter play-dough. Very messy but the girls loved it. We had a rainbow cake to go along with the unicorn theme and just partied until the parents came!!Happy Birthday Gracie!!!
