Happy First Birthday, Macie Leigh!

On December 7, 2012, Macie was born at 33 weeks + 2 days.  It was a surprise that she was so premature, but we were SO blessed that she was healthy and just needed more time to grow.  She came home with us on December 31, 2012...24 days in the NICU!

...now, a year later, we are celebrating!

Macie's birthday weekend started with my brother and his family coming to visit!  The girls had so much fun together...look how excited Macie was that Tessa was crawling over to play!
Same cheesy two-toothed grin!  Tessa was born, full term, 10 days before Macie so we are looking forward to their future friendship! 
Emily and Ava are about 6 weeks apart in age.  Their friendship is growing so much right now.  It is so much fun to watch! 
And here's the birthday girl...we were attempting to wear the boots, but obviously that didn't last long! 
They were all having lots of fun before the party even started! 


Irresistible girl! 



Her birthday theme was "Cute as a button."  It was a really fun theme!





She wasn't shy about trying her cupcake!

I think she liked it... 
Pat-a-cake with Grandma! 
Present time with lots of helpers! 
She was obviously having a great time! 
Grammie Sherrie and the girls...not sure what Emily's fascination was with her palm on her cheek...

...but she kept doing it...

...and soon the birthday girl was the only one following my photography directions!  Goofy girl!


Happy birthday to our sweet Macie Leigh.  You came into this world at your own time, but have been a complete blessing and joy every minute.  Our family is even better now that you're here!  We love you!
