Today is our oldest daughter Macey’s birthday. She turned five today and it was such an all around amazing day. The weather was terrific and we just had the best day celebrating Macey. Mickey went out bright and early this morning to Dunkin Donuts and got some donuts for us and a coffee for me. We put a candle in a donut for Macey at breakfast this morning. Macey chose her favorite breakfast which is scrambled eggs and cheese grits. My friend Renee and her two kids had invited us to go to the movies with them, so Macey and I went to see “Alvin & the Chipmunks” this morning and had a great time. We came home, had lunch and had some downtime before her party. Then our whole family went to Bounce U for Macey’s party. Even though it’s a holiday week and busy for travel, we still had a nice gathering of Macey’s friends at the party. It was SO much fun!! After the party, we came home for a bit and then went out to Moe’s with our friends Daniel, Shannon and Eden. Macey loves Moe’s and had gotten an email for a free birthday meal, so we cashed that in tonight. We came home, got the girls bathed and watched a bit of “Enchanted” on dvd which was one of Macey’s gifts. The girls are now in bed. When Macey said her prayers tonight, she was thankful for her birthday which was so sweet. It really was a wonderful day all around.
Five years ago, God entrusted Macey to Mickey and me. Our dream of becoming parents had come true. She was simply the most beautiful baby girl either of us had ever seen. We were head over heels in love with her right from the start. It’s hard to believe that it’s been five years since our sunshine girl was born. These five year have been nothing short of amazingly blessed. We are so very grateful for Macey, Mariana and the awesome joy of parenthood. 🙂
