Mackayla had her 4th birthday at the beginning of the month. She's proud to be a four year old and becoming so much more independent!
We got back into town from Yakima, the evening before her birthday. So, after we got unpacked and settled a bit I quickly made her a castle cake, as requested. By morning, one tower had already fallen over and the cake was starting to lean but she didn't care at all. She thought it was wonderful so I considered the cake a success anyway.
Mackayla was delighted to have her cousin, Sophie, at the party. The Nelson's were in town so it made it an extra special day that we got to have them over also.
Jacob and his newest cousin Lexy just hanging out together.
Mackayla didn't want to have two birthday parties but we finally talked her into having a "practice party" in Yakima before we left. She wanted pink cupcakes for that party. She also thought we should have green cupcakes in case some of the boys didn't want to eat a pink one.
She sure LOVES her baby brother and is always taking good care of him.
We had a little post-christmas party with Papa and Nini via web-cam.We opened the gifts from them and wanted to share the occassion with them so we brought the laptop in and did a video call.
