Macie turns 5!!

Macie had her 5th birthday on Thursday, May 5th!! I can't believe that she is 5! Old enough to start kindergarten!!! CRAZY!!! She had a great birthday full of presents, friends, and treats! She was able to take some treats to school and then after school had a little birthday party with a couple of friends. After the party we did a little BBQ with some friends and celebrated a little bit more. It was a fun, tiring day.

This is the doll that Macie got for her birthday! She loves it!! She is pretty sure that it is real because it talks and tells her what she needs.This is the Yahtzee game from Grandma and Grandpa Barnum. She is showing us how it works.She is a little excited for this one. We went to the store earlier this week and she said that this is the toy that she really wanted for her birthday and that when she got it, she would say "mom, that is the toy from the store that I wanted!!" Anyways, I had bought this exact toy on clearance about 2 months ago and was going to give it to Addie for her birthday, but when Macie saw it and said that, I just had to give it to her.Here is the game that she requested for her birthday party. When I asked her what games she wanted to play at her party this is the one that she came up with. She wanted a tree with a nest and then birds that had to find the nest. Awesome!Here are the kids opening gifts.Here she is blowing out her candles. She doesn't like cake or frosting, so we made brownies and had ice cream with them instead!Here is Tony, Macie and Halle waiting for their brownie.Here is Addie, Cole, and TrevorHere she is hitting the pinata. This is a tradition and always will be because she was born on Cinco De Mayo!!Here is Addie giving it a try!

All in all it was a great birthday!! Thanks to everyone who called, (she actually got quite tired of people calling her. With each new phone call she would sigh and answer the phone all annoyed!! It was hilarious!!) sent or gave her present, or just told her happy birthday!! It really made her day!!
