Mimi and Papa made it out to see Molly in the hospital and enjoy the first few days home with her. They were a huge help with Macklin and Macy as we spent three days in the hospital.
Here are some photos of their visit.
Super bear hugs from Macy...aka choking :)
Molly's First Walk
We also were blessed to celebrate Papa's birthday while they were in town!
We were able to take part of two great celebrations this weekend. Above is my dear friend Susie and her new baby Luke. Luke was adopted and born between Christmas and New Years. Adoption is such a special picture of God's grace and plan for us. Susie and her husband, Jeff, are so grateful to have their second baby through adoption. We had a Baby "Sprinkle" for her to celebrate his arrival.
Below is my sweet, genuine friend Jen and her family. We celebrated her birthday with her Saturday night. While we could not participate in the ski day (I am clearly not skiing this winter and Justin has a bum ankle), we did get to join for the dinner and ice cream part! A new tradition with this group of friends is to have everyone share one thing that they are thankful for regarding the birthday person! What a great tradition and way to fill each other's love tanks!
Last weekend, Macklin was able to help celebrate the 5th birthday of his buddy Briggs! Briggs hosted at the Eagle Fire Station and the fireman were quite the hosts. The boys got to go in the fire trucks, get sprayed by the hoses, celebrate in the office, ring the bells, and watch the fireman slide down the pole. It was a little boys dream!
We didn't give Macy nearly the choices that we gave Macklin last week. She choose mac 'n cheese for dinner and we added some chicken, veggies, and bread along with her choice for a normal dinner (unlike Macklin's Lucky Charms birthday dinner). We had more blue and pink cupcakes for dessert!
She enjoyed opening gifts from some of her grandparents to finish off her special day! She has already used her purse, chalk stencils, and tattoos (she is working on her tat-sleeves) and we are planning a snowshoe trip soon! Thanks so much!
You can tell by these faces that we had a great princess party for Macy's 3rd birthday! Another early celebration for my April 8th baby. We didn't want to miss out on the fun if we were in the hospital with Baby 3.
The Set Up
We just went pink, purple and teal princess all around! Macy loved the set up, especially the little cups and forks. All of the sweets were for sure a special treat.
The Greetings
Macy loved her new Cinderella outfit! We laid out all her princess dolls together before the girls came over. Macklin was in charge of "welcoming the princesses to the castle" while Macy picked out the doll they were dressed like and gave it to them for a little play time. She enjoyed this!
Food & Play Time
We enjoyed some popcorn as a morning snack before setting off to play. The girls played so well together as I made our lunch. At one point I didn't hear Macy and her buddy Aliyah. I found them on Macy's bottom bunk, snuggled up and reading princess books...so precious! For lunch the girls picked our their favorite cookie-cutter shape and we had PBJs along with yogurt and strawberries. Tea (aka Kool-Aid) to drink and cupcakes for dessert finished off our tea party!
Macklin was dressed to impress and helped me be a server for the tea party.
Even Macklin enjoyed our tiny drinks after his duties were complete!
Happy Birthday, Macy!
So many cute ones that I had to post all of them!
Daddy came home for lunch to see his Princess!
Present Time
I just had to show off these cute pics of the girls and their gifts. Ella gave Macy a "Mermaid Blanket." Seriously, soooo cute! If you search for it on Pinterest, you can find lots of ideas. But I had never heard of such a cute thing and Macy loves it. She also got a collection of princess books and a Snow White doll! She was in heaven and asking when her next birthday will be!
Thank you to these lovely princesses that helped make Macy's birthday extra special!
