Makadie Turns 2!!

Saturday October 20, 2007 Makadie turned 2 years old! Man the time has FLOWN by! Roni went to a Women's Conference put on by Deseret Book on Friday night and Saturday so we decided to postpone Makadie's birthday party to the following weekend. Coleman and Makadie spent the day working on the house. When Roni got home we decided to do a little celebrating.

We decided to go to Chuck E. Cheese's for her birthday. She likes pizza and we felt it would be a fun atmosphere for her.

As we entered they gave her a birthday balloon, a birthday crown, and 2 free tokens!

While we were waiting for our pizza Makadie watched the dancing characters on the stage and loved dancing to the music.

We had received a few cards in the mail and one package so we brought those along too! She loved opening the cards! She is really into Cinderella right now and two of the cards were Cinderella cards---man was she excited! You'd think she won the lottery.

When she opened the card from Grandma Dottie and Papa Bill she was thrilled to find her very own Band-Aids! She felt like quite the lucky girl! She also loved the stickers that were in the card too, but they did not get quite the same reaction as the Band-Aids!

She loved the card that Shane/Grum had sent. It had a butterfly on it--another thing she is really into right now! She got to open her first present of the year! "Hooray, a dolly!" She was so happy to find the treasure inside. It was a super cute doll just for her age. It is great for little hands to hold. It came with different outfits to wear too--but the outfits were plastic and just snapped on and off. It also came with a little brush to comb dolly's hair. Makadie and Dolly are already best friends. She had to sleep with her that night! She is really good at changing Dolly's clothes "all by myself" too!

Grum also gave her a pretty purple sweat suit with a butterfly on it!

After the presents and cards came the food! We brought some candles! She loves candles! She wanted us to keep relighting them over and over. It was cute because the first time we lit them she blew them out before we could sing to her. So we explained that we have to sing before we blow out the candles. So each time after that as soon as we lit the candles she starting singing Happy Birthday to Makadie. So she got sung to quite a bit!

Makadie was too excited to eat much. Chuck E. Cheese came out in costume! We were able to get a few pics with him! She thought this was great! I was a little nervous that she would not sit on his lap alone--but she did just fine!

After Chuck went into the back it was time to play. There was very few games for her age group, but she had fun riding the little rides. We helped her used all of her tokens and ended up with 96 tickets at the end of the night! So they let her redeem 100 points. She had fun picking out her prizes.

Which were a hand ring, a dragonfly ring, a top, a fish, and the most desired prize, a Tootsie roll!

It was a long day and we were ALL exhausted by the time we got home. But we all had a fun time and Makadie had a fun Birthday night!

We had to wait in line a long time to use the photo machine! But hey for only one token it was worth it!
