Makayla's Birthday Celebrations

What a fun time we have had in our house over the last week and it all started off with Makayla having a birthday and turning TWO!!!

(Warning there are a lot of pictures to follow.)

Birthday girl on her birthday March 31st!

Grandma Hunter was coming into town for Easter and we had decided to have a birthday party for Makayla when she was here. So on her actual birthday we just went and spent time together as a little family. Makayla and I spent the morning outside playing, he favorite thing to do, then we went and had lunch with Daddy at his school, and then when Daddy was done with school for the day we all went to Chucky E. Cheese! Makayla had a blast! It was all she could talk about for days!

Playing the games with Daddy!

Makayla loved to talk on this phone.

I swear she would have stayed on it all day long!

Riding some of the rides!

Going down the slide on her tummy!

Such a cute girl!

The highlight of the whole trip for Makayla was when she got to see and hug Chucky! We thought she was going to be afraid of him and she was a little bit at first, but then she loved him!

We had such a great time at Chucky E. Cheese. After we went home and opened presents and had birthday cake.

(Just a small cake. Her Elmo cake was for when Grandma was here.)

Just a couple of the fun things she got.

One of her presents was a big girl bed and she kind of loves it. She loves it during the day, but hates it at night. She really hates bedtime. All of sudden we are dealing with "Monsters"!

Enjoying some birthday cake. We decided to give her, her own cake again this year since she was afraid to dig into it last year and let me tell you she is the same girl. Instead of just going at it she asked for a fork and would not start eating it until she had one!

Makayla was a lucky girl this year and got to celebrate her birthday twice. Like I said before we spent her birthday just as a family doing stuff together, and then the following Monday we celebrated again. Grandma Hunter first took us to Chucky E. Cheese again (her treat!). Makayla was in heaven, and then later that night we had a few friends over to have some cake and ice cream. Makayla was so excited for it. All she could talk about was having an Elmo cake and wearing her birthday hat.

Here she is with the "birthday" hat. She loved it and wore it all night long. It was so cute.

Some of the fun friends that came over to celebrate. Cooper, Carson, Cadence, Logan, and Joy (she is missing in this picture)

When it came time to blow out the candles on her Elmo cake Cadence beat her to it. Makayla was so disappointed. I was laughing so hard. Good thing that relighting them and letting her try again was all it took to make her happy. Yup yours truly made her cake again this year. she loves Elmo.

Enjoying some of her yummy cake!

After cake and ice cream we opened some wonderful gifts. Thanks everyone for coming and bringing her a present it was so nice of you all! This is where Grandma Hunter gave Makayla her most favorite present. It was from Grandpa Hunter as well, but he doesn't get the credit because he wasn't here!!!! (j\k) Love you Dad! What did she get...................

A PINK/PURPLE BIKE!!!!

The face she had when she saw the bike was priceless, but unfortunately we didn't capture it. You will just have to take my word for it. Anyway Makayla had a great birthday. We are so lucky to have her as part of our family!
