Happy 5th Birthday Maibel
Since today is Maibel's birthday, I decided to ask her what a few of her favorite things are. I couldn't find pics of her with them on all of them but you get the message.
1-GoGo. Mai received GoGo as a gift on her first birthday from a friend of mine. She takes this doll everywhere. This is also to tell you how obsessed she is with babies. Any and all babies, she has to hold and love.
She has such a big heart and really just wants to "mother" anything she possibly can. Pill bugs are continually being brought into the house because "they just needed to be with me Mom." They receive names and are cared for as if they were human babies. When my niece was born last year, Maibel would sit on the couch and hold her for 30-45 min no problem. I love her caring personality.
2- second thing she choose was her sleeping mask. I know I have posted about this but she still wears it to bed ALL the time. Its so funny. That's just Mai for ya. Last week she was sick and had to have a chest x-ray. They made her wear a mask in the hospital so she wouldn't get anyone sick. She faithfully wore that mask for the next three days because she didn't want to get anyone sick. Only Mai.
3-Next is our Little House on the Prairie books we read together each night. We went all over looking for used books in this set. We did pretty good. We are only missing Farmer Boy and By the Shores of Silver Lake.We read a chapter or two every night and Mai loves it.
She will not go to sleep with out it. Its SO sweet. And of course I am so happy that she enjoys reading!
4-She recently was given these pajamas as a hand me down and she will not wear anything else to bed. They are so cozy and soft. Her pair are actually purple but they are the same Carter's Cozy Fleece Set. She just loves cuddling with anything. She has to sleep with her blanket and GoGo and a stuffed animal every night! It get rather crowded in there sometimes.5-And the last one is her Barbie bike. She loves this thing. Brent got it for her last year and she rides ever day! Not only is it pink and purple, and not only does it say Barbie on it, It has a little barbie bike on it so your barbie can go with you on rides!
It was a Barbie party so of course we had to have a Barbie cake (which ALWAYS reminds me of Sister M and my baptism). The cake was totally stressing me out so Melissa came and rescued me and finished it for me! What would I do without my sisters?
The pinata. It was SO funny!! We started with Ruthie and finished with Becca. Sweet Ruthie and Caleb went and barely touched the pinata and than it was Jaxon's turn. I told Brent to watch because I knew he was hit it HARD. He walked up and before Brent could even raise the pinata, he hit the crap out of it. It was so funny.
You can't really see Mai in this pic but oh well. Cesia was so funny. She was getting so mad at Brent because he kept moving it. LOL. Look at her face, she was so mad at him.
Inside the bags I put in the pinata, I gave all the kids stickers. We went inside and I started getting the cake ready to sing and when I turned around this is how I found Ruth.
Mai opening gifts. Clif had given her this little toe nail painting kit and she LOVED it. This was the look on her face when she opened it.
The Tent. We put all the kids in a tent in the living room. They watched Barbie and The Three Musketeers from inside the tent. They are so funny.
Saturday morning we had grits & cheese, and eggs and bacon. Than we went out front and played with bubbles.
For the past year Maibel has been asking for a "Build-a-Bear card". (gift card) We gave her one for her birthday and we went Monday night and did it. This is the bear she choose and its birth certificate. She named her bear Kari.
