What A Weekend!

This past weekend was so much fun! With both mine and Mark's parents here, we felt truly blessed. Maggie had a whale of a party too! Turning five...can you believe it?
It was a Barbie party, so you can imagine the pink. There were pink balloons, pink plates, pink cups, pink punch, pink cupcakes, pink wrapping paper, AAARGH!!! Pink!!!!! Not only were both sets of grandparents "present", but we also were graced with seeing Emily and Caroline. Emily is my cousin and Caroline is Mark's niece who are each attending Harding. They both have a great relationship with the kids and enhanced the party greatly. Caroline is the oldest granddaughter on Mark's side and Maggie is the youngest so...photo-opp!














Maggie got a bicycle and we all went out to watch Mark teach her to ride. She was very excited about it and, of course, Phoenix wanted to ride too!
We got her the size required for a child two years older than her...she's very tall!






















Maggie also got a new puppy (thanks, Meme and Papa!!) which she has named Saraphina, but which we have to wait for because she's still too tiny to leave her mama. After the party, and going shopping for new spring clothes (thanks, Grandmother!), we went to Charlie's Pizza for supper (thanks, Papa!). This was at Maggie's request (as was breakfast at I-Hop...forgot my camera for that event). It was tons of fun. Charlie's Pizza is so close to our house, it's visible from our backyard, so Granddad laughed at us when we all loaded up in carseats and it took two vehicles for us to travel a whole block.
This is Grandmother, Caroline and Granddad, waiting for pizza.
Here's Meme, Papa, Phoenix, and Maggie...waiting for the pizza (it sure took forever!)
Maggie wore her new princess crown (thanks, Emily!) and was so big!!
We had a Funny-Faces C0mpetition. Maggie won 2nd Place.
Mark won Runner Up. (I'm so proud)
Phoenix won First Place! (He was happy to rennact the winning face over and over!)
