February 15: We decided several years ago that we would let the kids have a friend birthday party for their even numbered birthdays--this year Macey turned 4 so it was her turn for a party! When we started talking about party ideas, there wasn't anything she was really excited about it (or any certain friends she really wanted to come). I was also a bit overwhelmed at the idea of lots of new barbies/babies/etc... After much discussion Marc came up with idea of doing a BIG family fun day--letting her choose several fun things to do and someplace special to eat dinner (and still spending less than we would have on a birthday party. We had fun planning her day. We tried a couple new places and we took Grandma Janet and Aunt NeeNee with us. We were exhausted by day's end but we really packed in the fun! Here's what we did:
Started the day with Dunkin Donuts:
 |
| Pink Sprinkles for the birthday girl... and FOUR candles! |
 |
| She got to open her 4 year-old book "I Love You Through and Through" |
Kinnick's Basketball Game
Jump Zone:
Lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings (and the Iowa Game!):
Cupcakeologist:
 |
| We got to make our own cupcake creations! Choose the flavor, the frosting, and the toppings... |
Family Fun Zone... Roller Skating, Arcade Games, & Lazer Tag:
 |
| It was great having Grandma to watch Carver for us! |
 |
| Macey skated her heart out--she LOVED it so much! |
We ended our day at home with Panda Express and a movie night... We had such a great fun-packed day. I'm glad every day isn't like this, but I'm also thrilled to celebrate this special little girl. We love you Macey!
