Macie's Birthday

 Macie had a birthday on Sunday, May 5th. She turned 7 years old. She could not wait for her birthday! Grandma and Grandpa Bradley were going to be here for it and we were going to get to see aunt Nana do some gymnastics at her competition. She was so excited! Macie wanted us to bring treats to her class, so we  took in a cookie cake on Thursday. I bought some Hello Kitty napkins and the kids loved it all! It was so cute to sit and watch her hand everything out to all of her little friends and to watch her face as they all sang her happy birthday!
Macie is growing up to fast for us! Geoff is always telling her that she has to stop growing and that she can't have a birthday. Here is a little about Macie at the age of 7:
She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to read! And is pretty good at it to. Just yesterday I turned on some music while she was reading and she left the room and went into the bathroom where it would nice and quiet! HA! She is a great big sister. She loves Addie and loves to play school with her....she is a great teacher!  She loves Camden and Brynlee and enjoys holding them and making them laugh. She is so kind to all of the kids in school and really tries to include everyone. We just love this sweet girl and don't know what we would do without her!

We hid her presents again this year and did a treasure hunt for her to find them. Here they go looking for clues!! They sure love this tradition. She kept asking me if we were going to do it....so, we did.

Opening her Presents. This year was funny because as I would be out shopping, if she was with me and saw something that she wanted, she would ask me if she could get it for her birthday. And since most of the things she wanted were on clearance, I had to buy them right then when she was with me. All of the gifts that she had picked out were bought at least 3-4 months ago, but she has such a great memory that I was sure she would remember each one....wrong! She didn't remember any of them! Score!!
She got some fun gifts this year including a $10 gift card to half price books-this was by far her favorite one! This girl LOVES to read!

Blowing out the candles. This year Macie chose to have a cookie cake. She doesn't really enjoy the real deal, so this is what she chose! She was so excited and it was quite delicious!
Happy Birthday Macie!! We sure love you!
