This past Sunday we had a Birthday/Housewarming/Super Bowl party. Macie turned one on Sunday, Super Bowl Sunday. we thought it would be a good opportunity to have the family over to see our new house. I think it was a success. Macie of course had no idea she was the guest of honor. For her birthday she got a box of tissue and she did get to eat a piece of cake.

I felt emotional about her turning one all last week. Now that it is over I seem to not be so weepy about it. My Macie has been such a gift to me and to our family. I don't know what I did to deserve my sweet girls. There are so many beautiful creations on this planet, but babies and children trump them all. No Grand Canyon or Niagra Falls can compare to my children's smiling faces.

PS

In kid news:

Macie seems to have decided that she hates baths. which is odd. As of two weeks ago she loved bath time. Now every time I bathe her it is like I am trying to bathe a cat. She can't get out of there soon enough.

Chloe found a yogurt top with a picture of a strawberry. she took the lid and glued it to a popsicle stick. Then she told me that she needed a strawberry seed so that she could plant strawberries and then she could stick her popsicle stick in the ground to mark her garden.

I wish her luck in making a strawberry grow here.
