Happy 7th Birthday Macie!

And just like that... I blinked again and my baby is another year older! How on earth did it happen?
The day before her birthday, I wanted to go and take her lunch to make her day a little extra special since we had to go to Brenna's Relay for Life celebration the night of birthday.

And to make it EXTRA EXTRA special- I brought along her mostest favorite person...Mrs. Sara!

And Mrs. Sara brought her a cupcake! Macie Claire is one loved little girl!! I am blessed to have friends in my life that love my kiddos so much.

We started her special day just like we do all of the other ones...
A decorated door!

And a powdered donut "cake" tower with a candle!

She was thrilled to FINALLY get to open her birthday card from her Mimi that had been sitting on the counter since we got home from El Reno.

Daddy gave her some morning birthday spankings.

And since we had a busy afternoon, she got to open her birthday present from Mommy and Daddy that morning.

A new scooter!!!

Goodness-I can't believe how big she is getting!

After school, we went out to eat at El Fenix for her birthday dinner. Pops had to work, but thankfully Memaw got to meet us for dinner. And she brought a balloon and flowers for her Macie Bell.

Brenna and I left as soon as we ate so that we could make it to her Relay celebration (next post). But Macie got to enjoy her dinner with her Daddy and Memaw, and then she got to Pops and Memaw's house for a bit while Josh joined Brenna and I.

I'd say it was a good day for a wonderful little girl! 

Macie Claire, 

You are such a joy in our lives. You have the best little smile and the most contagious laugh. You are the perfect mix of sweet and ornery. You can turn on the charm at any moment, and you can turn it off and switch to mischievous just as quickly. You still love to snuggle with Mommy, and I pray you always will. Baby dolls are your favorite toy, and Peppa Pig is your favorite show. Maylee is still your BFF, but you will settle for playing with Brenna when Maylee isn't available! For the most part, you and Brenna get along pretty well. But there are days when you can fight until Daddy and I want to run away!!

We love you so much Claire Bear! I am so thankful that God placed you in our family. You complete us in the most perfect way!
