Macie is 4!

Knowing that it's soon, Macie has been asking me for days to explain to her exactly when her birthday would be here.  We've pointed on the calendar and have tried to explain "not today, not tomorrow, not the next day, but the next day" (and so on).  Understandably, this method was met with a few blank stares.

So you cannot fathom how excited I was yesterday to be able to emphatically say, "Your birthday is TOMORROW, Macie!!!".  But then I had to further explain how tomorrow is her REAL birthday, but that she'll have to wait a week (7. Whole. Days.) for the Pump-It-Up party she's been anticipating for months.

Sigh.

But HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Macie!  Here's to a wonderful day at school (with the Cookies-N-Creme-frosted cookies from Target that probably look better than they will taste), a fun afternoon at Gymnastics with Ivie and your best friend, Cameron, and a night out to dinner at your restaurant of choice, Chick-fil-A.  And, for our now-4-year-old who is inevitably looking ahead to what is on tap for the next round of dessert, the answer for tomorrow is Icedream and peanut butter cup pie (thanks, Pinterest)!

We love you, sweet girl!
