Here is Macy showing off her fun Sunday dress and french braids Myles put in for her for church on her Big Day. Unfortunately, Carly and I had to stay home sick (at least it wasn't Macy). They came home carrying so many presents, they forgot the umbrellas. I guess that's what you get for having such a verbal child who let everyone know ahead of time, and for having so many thoughtful friends.
Carly made this super cute party hat for Macy's doll she's had since her first B-day, and the signs above for her friends' party.
Robyn was nice to let us use some cute Pippi Longstocking pictures she had for B-day signs and invitations.
Some higlights from her friends' party:
Don't Eat Pete
Bowling with empty water bottles
Freeze dance
Straw and cotton ball race
Pass the Parcel (what her British friend calls it)
Hearing them sing Happy Birthday in German and also in English with a British accent (that's what they learn here).
Myles did a great job, as always, with the cake. Sure looks like Mr. Nielsen to me! Macy had fun designing it and making it with him.
Here she is opening her box from Mom & Dad with great anticiaption.
It is fun to give her something she's been wishing for "for like a year." I'll post her "Hot Cross Buns" song on You tube.
When Myles downloaded the pictures, he found this. I guess we have a budding photographer on our hands. Much fun with Macy in the year to come!
Oh, yeah, and her B-day menu requests:
Breakfast: Sunshine in a bowl with cinnamon sugar toast
Lunch: tuna sandwiches, apple slices, and pretzels
Dinner: Vikingstopf (meatballs, carrots and peas with sauce over rice)
She brought American cookies (peanut butter blossoms) and milk to share with her kindgarten. She also brought a "Choose the Right" ring in German for everyone.
I was sad to be informed that now she's too big to hold my hand to cross the street. Oh, well. Maybe she'll forget...sometimes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACY JANE! :)
We wish we were there to party with you! And what an awesome Accordian! :)
When you come home, you and Marcus's friend can do duets together! :) My sister gave Ellie a similar one when she left for college - maybe they could be in a band together some day?! :) Hooray for Macy and her sweet goodness! So glad you were born and I still remember vividly! :) Time flies so fast!!! We love you!
