A very happy birthday

McKay is a very simple girl. She had two things on her list this year.

  1. 3 Webkinz
  2. Black hair

It's really too easy, but I'm not a fan of black hair, and she already has dark brown hair so that was sort of out of the question. Then came the tough part. What to get her. A couple weeks ago she came home with a paper saying that her grade was learning bike safety and they would go on a 12 mile bike ride at the end of the training. Jake had told her we would fix her tires and she would have a bike. McKay was upset. Her bike is pink and she firmly told us she is a tomboy and that she wouldn't be seen with a pink bike. She was so upset. We had decided beforehand to buy her a new bike since her tires were shot and it was too small anyway. It was so hard not to say anything when she got upset that day.

Then a couple days before her birthday she snooped through the garage and found her present. She wasn't upset anymore. (She was looking for something else and came across the hidden bike in the corner, it wasn't really snooping.)McKay opened presents, ate her birthday dinner, and blew out the candles on her cake. She wanted a blackberry cheesecake. I have been running around like crazy the last couple of days since the weather is nice and business is picking up. McKay kept everything simple and I really appreciated it. What a sweet girl! One down and 5 more to go this year. It wasn't planned but all of our birthdays fall in line. From April to September we have one a month and then they are done til the next year.

P.S. Stay tuned for the upcoming header change. It's about time.
