The Lepadoptrist is 6!

This may have been my favorite birthday party of Grace's thus far.  I'm not sure if it was the simplicity of the planning or the excitement of the party events.  Since about last September Grace knew she wanted a butterfly party.  I thought the idea would pass but instead it grew and grew.  The planning stages were a little rocky but quickly turned into caterpillar grapes, butterfly crackers with cheese and butterfly cupcakes. The cousins arrived and it was time to celebrate!  

The best part was the release of the butterflies we had raised from chrysalises.  The painted ladies didn't want to leave us they seemed to want to stay.  Maybe someday their great great great granddaughters will come back to visit?

Here's to another year of adventures Grace!
