Makayla Grace is 5!!!

I write this post with a heavy heart....I have another five year old. There is something about that age that just makes me realize their childhood is slipping through my fingers. Makayla has had a wonderful birthday celebration this weekend, which will continue till tomorrow. On Friday, Our buds, Russ and Emily came with their adorable daughter Mirian! On Saturday morning Grandma and Grandpa Divis came by to give Makayla presents. She got a beautiful blue dress, an awesome guitar/piano/drum electronic recorder, a sweet stuffed love bug, and some awesome candy. Saturday night we went to her favorite restaurant-Tomato Street! She got a special birthday brownie and ice cream. Her actual birthday was Sunday, she got sung to in Primary, a giant card from her class,and a candy bar voucher from the Bishop. We came home had some White Texas Sheet Cake (Yum), and sang her Happy Birthday. She gets to go to Grandma and Grandpa Macs tomorrow for cupcakes and pizza,and her preschool will celebrate her b-day tomorrow.

We decided not to make a big fuss and throw a huge party, because she is not a big party person. She is low key and quiet in those situations and doesn't act like herself very much.

Here is a picture we took of the whole family on Sunday:

And one of her with her hair in curlers, she loves getting her hair in curlers,and she actually keeps them in all night long, it looks gorgeous when it's done!

Now Sap: What can I say about Makayla that could truly express to everyone and my Heavenly Father how grateful I am for her? There are no words...she is a special daughter of God that I do not always feel worthy to raise or be the mother of. I am so grateful for the selflessness, kindness, patience and Christ-like love she continues to show and teach me. I am grateful my other children have the opportunity to share bloodlines and an eternal bond with her. She is a part of my heart and I love her so much!!! We love you KayKay...Mom,Dad,James,Evan,Sadie,and Emily!
