Marshall Turns Eight

Until last year, Macy and Marshall always had a "joint birthday party." No more. His birthday is in June, but he had a party the day after Macy's, on Memorial Day weekend. He invited a few friends to the Main Event, a video game/bowling alley/laser tag, you-name-it kind of place! After playing a couple of hours, they had pizza and cake and opened presents.

Happy Birthday to my sweetest grandson. You make my world light up every day! I love you!

Macy Turns NINE!!!

Macy had a doctor's appointment on her birthday, so she talked her mom into taking a day off and making it a Macy/Mom Day. I crashed their party at lunch and took some pictures of her as she and her mom were talking about going to camp this summer.

A few weeks later, on Memorial Day weekend, she invited three friends from school to her house for an American Girl Doll Sleepover. Shelby, however, brought a stuffed alligator! Hannah and Zoe brought their AG dolls.

Marshall's train table was converted into a birthday party stage for the dolls and "Crockie" the alligator!

Notice where his crown is.

This picture cracks me up! Macy had just opened a present---a gumball machine---and she pretty much went ballistic! It's blurry because she was jumping up and down!

Four live dolls and their dolls!

Happy Birthday, Macy! You have brought me so much joy these past nine years and I loved being a part of your birthday party this year! I love you more than I can say!
