Happy Birthday, Maya. This poor girl not only has her birthday during the hustle and bustle of Christmas and just a few weeks after both of her sisters birthdays when her mom is pooped of birthdays, but this year it was on a Sunday. We tried to make the best of it. The Saturday before we told her we would take her out to lunch (Tim and I had his work Christmas party that night.) Then we decided to go to breakfast instead. She chose Golden Corral because my kids LOVE the fact that they can walk around and get whatever they want. i.e. Maya has a doughnut and a blueberry pancake on her plate. Just a slite sugar high.
Livie enjoying a sugar overload also.
We have to document that McKenna was there too. Plus she's so cute we can't miss a photo op.
Happy full tummies at this table. 
After breakfast we went over to Old Salem. One of Maya's favorite places. They happened to be having a puppet show that day of "Christmas in the Trenches". It is a great kids book. The man who wrote the song came and read the story while they did the puppet show. Then he sang some songs and played some instruments. Here is a sampling of his performance. Sorry it's sideways. I forget that when you video you have to hold the camera straight. It's short so you won't get a kink in your neck.
On Sunday after church Maya opened her presents. Hello Kitty from Livie was the big gift of the day. After opening gifts we went over to our new friends, The Jenkin's house for dinner and to have cake and ice cream. (The Jenkin's daughter babysits for us and they are just nice and like kids.) Sorry, no pics at their house, I forgot the camera. Maya picked the menu. We had waffles and hard boiled eggs. We tried to get her to come up with something else but this is a girl that knows what she wants. She wouldn't budge and how can you say no to the birthday girl. She also chose to have a snowman cake (just like we saw at Walmart but Mommy wouldn't pay $13 for it.) She wanted it complete with earrings. Which were made with hershey kisses.
A few days after Maya's birthday I was going to take down her decorations from her door but she reminded me that I never took her picture. So here it is. The streamers are a little sad since McKenna kept grabbing them everytime we walked through the door.
We love this girl. I can't believe she's 5.

Happy happy birthday Maya. I can't believe you are a big 5 year old now. I bet you are a big help to your mama now with your baby sister. Hope you had a fabulous day!
I love her haircut. So cute. It matches her little round face. Happy Birthday to Maya. I forget she's 9 mo. younger than Malia. I still picture her as 3. I guess we don't like them to grow up. :)
