Macie Turns 4!

I cannot believe Macie is 4! Where did the time go? Then again, sometimes it's hard to believe that she is only 4, she acts older than that, most of the time.  Macie is already turning into a friend to me. We can have meaningful conversations, and she is so sweet. She is always telling me how beautiful I look, and that I am "the best" which is always followed by, "And my Daddy's the best." Lately she has been my workout buddy, and everyday she picks out a video and does it with me. She's pretty good at following the moves too, it's really cute. And then she says, "Mommy, you do it like this. See, this is how you do it." She helps me so much, and is always asking me questions about life and death and Jesus. It makes it so easy to teach her. She really has a love for Heavenly Father and Jesus, and wants to follow them. I love her so much, and feel so fortunate to be her mom. Here are some fun little facts about Macie:

-She LOVES barbies

-Loves playing house or "family"

-Loves new clothes. And she gets just as excited for hand-me-downs or garage sale clothes, which is nice because I know that won't last forever.     

-Loves primary, and especially her teacher Mrs. Westover.

-Is a great big sister, especially to Allie.

-Loves Family Home Evening! Never lets us forget :)

-Loves her family and friends and babysitters!

-Loves to Dance.

-Loves to paint.

-Loves shoes.

-Loves her daddy.

I put her gifts in our room because she comes into our room first thing in the morning.

Her new princess backpack for preschool. And whenever we go on a little trip, or anywhere, she has to pack her back pack :)

New clothes.

This is how Branson is in the morning until he's had a milk, then he's good to go.

Macie helped me make her pinata this year, it was fun to do it with her. 

She didn't hit it very hard  ;)

But her cousin Hunter know how. Candy went flying everywhere!

Blowing them out.

I bet she wished for more new clothes.

I outdid myself on her cake this year, I know. Just kidding, but she thought it was great, and that's all that matters to me. She wanted a rainbow birthday.
