Mac's first birthday gathering!

We had Mac's first birthday celebration today. Since he just started his new preschool a few weeks ago, his buddy across the street is still in Florida and being new to the area we didn't know a whole lot of kids, I asked Mac what he wanted to do. We decided we would go bowling and invite a few of his friends that he has met through speech class, which he talks about alot.

So Kensey, Kara and Ainsely (Kensey's sister) joined us for pizza and bowling. He was the young man hanging with 3 (5 if you count the babies) beautiful girls! Everyone enjoyed the pizza, even Emily! Bowling took a while, as you can imagine with 4, 3-4 year olds, we then sang happy birthday and enjoyed some cupcakes. Mac was a bit shy when we sang to him. He then opened a few presents, he got 2 new games which is awesome and a drum set. Jenn (Kensey's mom) said they girls really wanted to get it for them, as they have one and it's really not that loud....we'll see how loud it is :)!

Emily was a doll through it all and even tried to pick up a ball. She seemed to enjoy hanging with the big kids. When everyone was having cupcakes, she got one of her "wheels" and tried to shove the whole thing in her mouth, isn't it attractive!

Both kids are soundly sleeping, Mac put up a fight, probably from the overdose of sugar and swore he wasn't tired.

He will get 2 more celebrations, we are doing a party with his preschool class on Monday morning, Mac has asked me to make Panda Bear cupcakes, a feat which I'll attempt tomorrow. Then Monday night I told Mac he can pick a fun activity and a place for dinner and we'll celebrate again.

I hope it will be a great 4th birthday for him. It's so hard to believe he's almost 4, it seems like yesterday he was a baby in my arms.
