You know I used to swear I'd never be one of those mom's who didn't want their kids to grow up. Then it happened. The night before Maci's birthday, I cried like I was the three year old. Kids grow up, get over it. Hopefully I'm not the only sissy mom out there. In Maci's words, "I need something to wipe my tears".



Here are pics from her dancing party. It was a hit. The kids especially enjoyed watching Maci's grown-up mom dance around like a fool to get the party started. That's right, no shame. I guess I'd do anything for that little girl. In all seriousness, though, next year I'm choosing the theme. And for once I was glad the video camera was broken (again).


The Ballerina Cake


Crowning the Birthday Girl



Funny Faces



Maybe think twice about taking on this kind of craziness for your 3 year old

How much fun!!! You aren't the only Mom don't you worry. Liam is only 13 months and I have a hard time saying he is 1 year old. Maci looks so cute. Happy Birthday Maci!!!

Three already...bigger girl! For me, I can hardly believe Kalea will be 5 in April and off the Kindergarten. Pretty sure there will be tears shed...by me!

Good job Summer! I love the dancing party. That would've been a great video to blog! :) I think about how fast Sydney is growing and I get very sad too... so, I'm sure that when she turns 1, I'll cry. FUN!

Happy Barf-day, Macie! (Luckily she shares it with her cuz, Willie!) I'm going to have to say that I can't wait for my kids to get bigger. I know I'll eat my words sooner or later...probably later.
