Mac is 2!

Yesterday was Mac's 2nd birthday! I was so worried that Mimi would come on the same day, so I was so relieved when she came before! I wanted to be able to be there when Mac turned 2, so the day would seem like it was just for her. Brad being home helped, of course. He started out the day with his signature 'Special Waffles'. This particular variety had chocolate chips in it, and was garnished with berries, real whipped cream, and sprinkles!

The banner I finished for the Birthday Girl...horribly backlit.

I did cupcakes instead of an actual cake, so we put one candle in each of two cupcakes for Mac.

Mac was pretty excited about the 'fire'.

She even did a great job blowing out the candles, when directed where to blow. I don't think she made a wish.

She has always, from the very first graham cracker, eaten things either from the top down or sideways, whichever makes the least sense for the food. The cupcake would have gone down marvelously eaten from the side, so of course, she ate it from the frosting down.

Mmmmmm...

Cutie!

And what a mess it makes when you go frosting first!

Presents! Leiden had a bit of a hard time understanding that Mac is entitled to some new things.

She got a bubble machine and a toy vacuum. Who could ask for more?

I love Mac so much. She is such a troublemaker, yet she can melt your heart at a glance. We are so blessed to have her in our home! Happy Birthday, Mac!
