Her Presents

There's my baby girl with all of her first birthday presents.
Well, almost all of them.  There were a few that didn't make it in time.
But that just meant a second celebration a week later!

I just think she's so cute.

Macie had quite a bit of help from Ephram.

He and Charlie both were so happy for their little sister.
They are such protective brothers.
And so happy when she's happy.

One of Macie's favorite presents came with several other things from her Great Grandma Hayman.
Sunglasses.
She was so excited to have her very own pair to play with.

Another clear favorite was this talking purse from her Grandma Boyce.
Inside there are keys, a credit card, a phone, a mirror
And a bracelet.
She loves all of the things in there,
But most of all the little bracelet that she can slip on one hand, and back off.
Then onto the other hand, and wear it all over the house.

She was also very excited about this AlphaZoo Spinner,
(Which was a last minute purchase when the other presents didn't arrive.)
And her Little People Disney Princess set from Charlie.
And her talking and sliding mobile phone from Ephram.
And her new swimsuit and clothes from relatives.
And her new Little People take and play castle from the Touchettes.
And several other things too.

But she wasn't so sure about this Jack in the Box from her Grandpa Kovar.

We have a Hungry Caterpillar Jack in the Box that Ephram got for his first birthday.
Macie has enjoyed watching it since she discovered it around six months.
This Jack in the Box, her very own first birthday surprise, has a cute little teddy bear that pops out.
But it brought on tears for her,
Even when we were silly with it.
She's slowly warmed up to it the last few months and loves it now.
But I have to admit I thought her first reaction was a little bit funny.

Great Grandma Hayman even thought of the boys and sent them a gift to open as well.

My children are so lucky to have thoughtful family.

Macie had such a fun time opening her presents.
She was a little timid at first, but had it all figured out quickly.
It was so much fun to watch her discover each one!
