HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY PICTURES MACI!!

Well, I really can't believe it, This year has gone by so fast. I can't believe that Maci is already one year old!! We have loved every minute of her in our family!!! From her teeny tiny 5lbs 4 oz to We think about 20 lbs. now Whoo Hoo! Gosh we didn't even know how to hold her she was so small. But this year has brought much laughter to our home Jayse reminds us all the time that he was the first one to make her laugh, saying something that was so rediculous, and off the wall, BUT it made her crack up.He has this special way of charming her even still. He loves to make her laugh and she loves laughing at him. She follows his to his room every morning while he gets ready for school. I asked him what his favorite thing about Maci was and his reply was that she laughs so hard all the time. :) Breeana has been the biggest helper. Wow! She was and still is such a good babysitter. She was my right hand girl. She would feed Maci her bottles and even burp her. She was so good at it. Maci's a little bigger now so it doesn't work as well for Breeana. She is great at playing ponies with her and taking her outside. Maci Loves to be outside, as soon as a door opens, she is gone, or at least tries to be. Breeanas favorite thing about Maci is to watch her laugh and roll all over the floor. She is quite the entertainer. Did I mention as well as entertaining us she is also keeping us on our toes. She loves to climb. on EVERYTHING. If she can get her leg up on it, she is climbing on it. You name it. couches, stools, end tables, in the kitchenly drawers, boxes.....I could go on. I think our most favorite thing about Maci is her ability to dance!!! She hears the music and moves. She's a great dancer! Everytime we get in the car she has to dance. She especially loves it when we are going across the street from my moms to our house cause she doesn't have to get in her car seat and she gets to stand up on the steering wheel and dance away... Anyway we love her to pieces!!!!

So a little about her birthday, We just had some dinner and of course some cake. My sister Emilie is the lucky one to wanted to develop the talent of cake decorating. She is really good at it. I got this birthday shirt for Maci cause it was cute. (I'm really liking the polka dots on everthing for girls lately.) Anyway so we couldn't decide on what to do for a cake, until..... duh make it like the one on her shirt. It turned out ssooo cute. She loved the cake, and you can imagine, it was fun and games until she realized that everyone was looking at her and laughing! Her favorite game is peek a boo, this is how we were able to get the frosting all over her face. Isn't that was 1st birthdays are all about!!! She somehow managed to actually pick up the cake off the plate. She wasn't very thrilled about presents as like most one year olds could care less. She had some cousins Easton and Samuel there that just turned 2 and know what presents are all about and were way more excited to open them then her. She loves her babies!! Oh, and the stroller, she likes it more when the kids give her a ride instead of the babies, go figure. Anyway Happy Birthday to our little "may may". Or little "peanut" as all the nurses called her!

It's the birthday girl!! She's showing off her smile!!
Just chillin before all the excitement...well not really. She really didn't want to get her picture taken. She wouldn't sit still and just look at the camera. Imagine that a one year old not sitting still to get a picture taken...
If you'll notice her shirt matches her cake!! It's kinda hard to tell. (her picture on the right side has a close up of the cake) We couldn't decide what to do for a cake, then I just loved it. It just looked fun. This cake just turned out sooo cute!!
MMMMM............. whipped cream frosting.............
Peek...............a..............

...................BOO!!!!!!!!!!!
well it was fun while it lasted....Party over. Glad you were all entertained. I am one years old now...
Inside these gifts were, 2 babies, a baby stroller, Baby Einstein videos, books, PJ's, a dress, a vacumn, a ride on giraffe thing. She loves them all!Does it look like she doesn't want her brother and sister holding her to get a picture?? This is pretty normal. She's figured out that she doesn't need them bossing her around. HHmmm. go figure.
