She finally turned 5! This is the year I've been dreading, when I'll have to send her off to kindergarten! Mackayla was so excited for her birthday to finally arrive! She's been talking about January 3rd coming for an entire year. She got to choose everything about the day and had so much fun planning this special event!
She wanted cinnamon rolls for breakfast 
She got to open one present before Daddy left for work. Her dad spent over three hours putting this doll house together for her the night before. She was absolutely delighted with the gift.
She got to take treats to preschool for her birthday and had a fun time there. Then she got ready for her Tinkerbell birthday party!
We ate dinner at Texas Roadhouse. This had been planned by her for a long time. We always drive by this restaurant and the kids always want to go. This summer Mackayla asked why we never get to go there. We told her it costs a lot of money to eat out so we only do it on special occasions. A few minutes later she asked us if her birthday was a special occasion. We told her it was and she had been looking forward to her birthday dinner since then.
The Nelsons joined us back at home for the party. -Opening gifts-
Swinging at the pinata
Time for the Tinkerbell cake
Mackayla has grown up so much this past year. She's very mild mannered and well behaved. She rarely causes any trouble and is usually being a HUGE help to her mom. She is a great big sister. She tries so hard to take care of her two little brothers and always wants to share everything with them. If she ever brings home any type of treat from preschool she has figured out how to divide it into three by the time she gets home. She's getting more and more independent all the time. She loves going to preschool and her primary class. She likes to pick out her own outfits and is sometimes very creative when doing so. She loves to dance, sing, laugh, color, and draw. She loves playing with her doll houses, barbies and dress-up clothes. Her brothers love her so much as well as her Mom and Dad!! We are so grateful to have her in our family!

Happy Birthday Mackayla! What a fun day you had. Wish we could of been there with you. I can't believe how grown up you are!!
Happy Birthday, Mackayla! It looks like you had a GREAT birthday! I wish I could of been there!
I can't believe Mackayla is already five! She sure is a sweet, beautiful girl. That is an awesome dollhouse. Meagan loves Texas Roadhouse, too and still claims it to be her favorite restaurant although we've only been twice and it was years ago.
I love that she picked Texas Roadhouse!! My boys ask about it when we drive by too. Must be some corporate marketing ploy on children to get families to go! Kade turns 5 in March. Happy Birthday MacKayla!!!
We tell our kids we only eat out for special occasions...or when Grandma Davenport invites us, and she defines special occasions very differently than we do. Glad it was a good birthday. I can't wait for dollhouses at our house!
How did I miss this?! The party looked really fun, wish we could have been there! The pinata turned out really well, I can't believe you did it all in one day.
