Macie's Hard Day!!

She was moving her hand that is why it looks freaky!

Macie has had a really hard day today. She hasn't been feeling well for a week or so and had her 12 month check up today. I was suprised to find out that Macie had a ear infection. She also got 4 shots! On top of all of that I stopped nursing her today! Poor Baby!!! Daddy went to the store and bought her a treat to try to make her feel better. Hopefully we will make it through these next couple of days!!!

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

At the Hotel

On Thursday December 11 we went to Mickey's Very Christmas Party. This is a family tradition that we do every year around Christmas time. It is always so much fun! Macie loved Dumbo! We basically got to stay on the rides and ride them as many times as we wanted because there weren't any lines. This is definately the BEST time to go to Disney World. Thanks mom for taking us! We had a blast!

Macie's 1st Birthday Party

Macie's 1st birthday party went great! We had over 50 people come and celebrate her turning 1. We had hay rides, side walk chalk, play dough, ball pits, coloring etc. I could have never pulled it off without my mom and Rhea's help. Rhea made the beautiful cupcakes, cookies and Macie's cake. She did such a great job! She even took Macie a couple of times for me so I could get some things done. Macie loved playing out in the grass, going on the hay ride, playing in the ball pits and eating her cake. My main goal for the party was to make sure Macie had a good time. I didn't want to get caught all up in everything and miss her party. Once 12:00 came around I decided to have a good time and to make sure Macie was safe and having a good time. Thank you everybody that came. We really enjoyed seeing everybody.

Macie tunred 1!!!! I can't believe it!!! This past year has been amazing. We could not have asked for more. Macie has been so much fun to watch grow. Each stage has been great! We are truely blessed. Macie had a wonderful first birthday! Macie woke up at 6:00 am on her birthday. She must have been excited because she normally sleeps in until 8:00am. Her day started off with chocolate donuts and baby einstein (her favorite). I then gave her a couple of gifts and then we got dressed loaded up the car and headed to Disney World (Magic Kingdom). Macie rode Pooh, Peter Pan, the Carousel, It's a small world and a couple of others. She ate popcorn in her stroller and even got a small sip of mommy's soda. On the way out of the park daddy bought Macie a great big balloon with mickey mouse on one side and minnie on the other. Daddy also bought Macie a small Minnie mouse doll. On the way to the car Macie got to ride in the front of the monteral with the driver. She loved tapping on the glass and looking out the window. I think this might have been her favorite part of the day.Macie slept the whole way home and then played with some of her new toys once she got home. After we all took a rest for a hour or so we loaded back up in the car and picked up Jayden. We then took Macie and Jayden to the park and then to eat some pizza at Tony's. Michael and I aren't used to having two kids in a restaurant so after 30 minutes of fighting the kids to stay in the high chairs we decided to pack up and eat the pizza at home. Macie and Jayden came home finished their dinner and Macie got a small cake to eat. Michael and I gave her the rocking/bouncing pony and then Michael gave her a special present he picked out for her just from daddy. It was a hokie pokie Elmo. After all of the presents Macie and Jayden then took a bath together. After Jayden left Macie crashed. This was a big day for a 1 year old!!! I think she had a blast!

Vacation at the Beach

After Thanksgiving Michael, Macie and I drove to Michael's parents beach condo in Crescent Beach. We had such a wonderful time there. On Friday we drove to Jacksonville and hung out with my Aunt and Uncle that we never see. It was so nice seeing them. Macie loved thier little dogs! I'm even considering one day getting her a small poodle like it. I have never been a poodle fan but these 2 dogs are really cute and small. They also don't shed which is great! Maybe in a few years! Saturday we went over to St. Augustine and Sunday we packed up and headed home. We got plenty of rest in and even some time down at the beach. Macie loved playing in the sand and didn't even care that the water was feezing cold! Thanks grammie and poppie for letting us use the condo we had a great time!!!
