Macy's Birthday

At first, I didn't think I would mind having my girls birthdays 5 days apart, but it's kind of a lot of "birthday" all at once. Oh well...I guess Greg and I should be aware that June is apparently an extra fertile month. Anyway...

Macy turned "4" on Wednesday, and she woke up the next day and asked if she was "5". I don't think she really "gets" it. But, she was such a happy girl all day long. I guess if every day was Macy's Day, we would get rid of her grumpiness. Since we are painting her room, she's been sleeping on the pull-out bed in the living room. So, I decorated that bed with balloons. Grandma Burr sent two boxes of presents last Saturday. On Monday, I called Greg at work and asked if he would mind if I just let her open those presents. They were haunting her. So, she's kind of had birthday all week long. She opened a Cinderella dress-up and Easter dress with shoes from Greg and I. My mom is going to take her to Disney Princess on Ice on Saturday. It's a surprise, but she "needed" a Disney Princess dress to wear. We spent the day making a mermaid cake.
Macy decided she wanted to go bowling for her birthday. So, we invited Claire, Tanner, and Kathryn to bowling. The kids had a great time, and insisted on doing it by themselves. They got so excited when they knocked down the pins. Tanner was actually quite impressive with two spares - go figure. Then, we came back home for pizza, cake, and presents. I had a hard time covering up the bosoms of the doll that you stick in the cake. It turned out to be kind of X-rated. Luckily, the kids didn't notice. Macy was thrilled with her gifts from her friends - barbie and barbie car, Cinderella Polly Pocket, and a kite. She was in heaven!
I cannot believe it's been four years! Where has the time gone?!? Even though she's a little sassy and emotional, I am so grateful that she is part of our family. She talks constantly, sings all the time, and "pretends" like no other. We love her!
