Happy Birthday Macie

I am pretty sure that I say this every year, but I can't believe that I have a four year old!!!! Where has the time gone?!!
Here are a few things that we love about our Macie:
-She LOVES to laugh!!
-She is a GREAT sister to little Addie!!
-She loves to play, play. play
-She is a pretty good listener and she knows the rules and keeps them!
Here is what Macie has said about turning and being 4:
(A little background: we played outside a lot yesterday and she fell down a lot and got a TON of scrapes and bumps)
-"Dad, I don't want to be 4 anymore because I have gotten all beat up today"
-"Mom, I don't like to be 4, I want to be 5"
me: "You can't be 5 yet, you have to be 4 first"
Her: "Well then I don't want to be any number"
-Today while in the parking lot at church she found a bead and picked it up calling it her treasure...We thought nothing of it.....until we got home from church and I was making her lunch and she comes dancing into the kitchen and sings to me "bead up my nose, bead up nose" I say what are you saying? she says: "I have a bead up my nose". Sure enough, there was the bead about half way up her nostril. Exciting no?! So, I go and grab the tweezers and Geoff grabs a flashlight and we proceed to try and dig this thing out, it wasn't working!!! So, my genius husband says "go and find the baby nose sucker and we will just suck it out." (I never would have thought of this) We get a nose sucker and he sticks it in there about 5 times and it totally worked!!! AMAZING!!!!
Needless to say, if my first 2 days of being 4 were as bad as her first 2 days have been, I wouldn't want to be 4 either!

*one little note for memory sake...Macie's real birthday is on the 5th of May. We celebrated it on the 1st because Geoff is going to be gone the whole month of May doing externships and the girls and I are flying to my parents for some of that time, so we just celebrated her birthday a few days early!*
