After a fun day of school, her friend Graham came over and the two of them had some silly time together!
Presley and Will couldn't handle all the excitement, and fell asleep sitting up (the workload with this move has been exhausting and has taken a toll on us all).
Later that night the whole clan went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate with Macie (Dad had to leave town for a few days and wouldn't be home for her bday).
All of us had a blast eating, laughing, and playing!
We spent the day in the pool on Saturday, and Macie wowed all of us with her exceptional dive. I was a little perturbed by her success considering I have been practicing for weeks, and her first try blew me out of the water.
That night Macie posed to signify the last night she would be going to bed as a 3 year old...
She woke in the morning ecstatic and ready to celebrate her big day. Mom made her pancakes, and she ate them so fast she could hardly breathe.
After breakfast she opened some of her presents, and then spent most of the day playing with them!
Opening her Princess Celestia Pony from Grandma Jean was a big moment for her:
Presley and Grandma lounged on the couch together and caught up on the news while Macie and I were occupied with the toys.
After a fun swim, Mom, Grandma, Presley, Hayley, John, Will, and I all gathered around to sing her happy birthday.
With a full tummy Macie went to bed a happy 4 year old!
That night after Mom did my hair, she put a curler in Presley's hair- we all though it was hilarious!
In the morning Mom dressed me for purple day, and I got to wear my new purple kicks!
After I went to school, Mom and Grandma took Macie to Toys R Us to pic out her birthday gift from Grandma.
Macie was SO excited she could hardly stand still long enough to pose for a picture.
Just when Macie thought her day couldn't possibly get any better, Mom bought her a carousel ride!
The following day was orange day again, so Mom decked me out in some orange and black!
Macie chose to wear her "4" shirt for her first preschool day as a 4 year old!
Mom and Grandma joined Macie for lunch and brought in cupcakes for the class.
After lunch everyone sang Macie the birthday song, and then got to eat cupcakes!!!
At the end of the week our new pool gates were installed in the new house, so we spent our final night in our old rooms (all we had left in our house were mattresses and blankets).
That next morning I took a picture to remember my last day in the house (no one else was interested in having their photos taken).
While we were at school, Mom, Will, and Presley spent the entire day moving the beds, couch, and kitchen items to the new house. Apparently it was a lot of work, because when I got home from school Will and Presley were passed out.
The next day was the last day of the month, and while Mom was busy cleaning the garage, Dad, Macie, and I got to swim in the pool for the last time. We spent most of our time lapping the slide and doing tricks on the diving board- we will definitely miss the pool!
After we said our final goodbyes to the old house, we were ready and excited to move on to our next chapter. On Sunday we all enjoyed a swim at the new house, and can't wait to create new memories together.
Thanks to everyone who helped physically, emotionally, spiritually, etc. to make our move a huge success; we are lucky to have the support of such wonderful friends and family. Without everyone none of this would have been possible. So many wonderful things lie ahead for us; we can't wait to share the stories!!!!!!!!!!!
