Happy Birthday Macy!

Last Sunday, we celebrated Macy's 1st birthday! It's so hard to believe it's been a year already. Where did the months go? Melissa and Tod threw such a fun party - a bouncy house, pulled pork barbeque, and banana splits! It was all a huge hit (and not just with the kids!).



The bigger kids all looked on with hungry eyes. Their big treat - the banana splits - were just around the corner!

The kids were told not to touch the ice cream and toppings while the other split ingredients were being prepared. They complied very well, considering the temptations in front of them!



I love that video. It seems to me we're watching the male/female roles unfurl in front of us. The girls instructing and claiming superior knowledge (well hey, you have a good claim to superiority if you're both more experienced AND female!) and the boys trying to assert themselves and appearing a little frustrated to be overwhelmed by the girls' chatter (well, Andy at least - Hayden handled it well). Pretty much hits it right on, I'd say!

(Somehow I missed Hayden's split - he must have made his and gotten right down to eating it!)

Macy making a birthday mess!

Sylvia liked the little yapper dog, one of Macy's presents.

The bouncy house - fun for all ages!!!

This is what a bouncy house is all about - you go Tod!

Happy Birthday Macy!
