Macy's Future Best Friend is BORN!

The wait is over. . . our friends Greg & Courtney welcomed little Hayden Riley into the world on January 23rd!!! We are so thrilled for them - they are going to be fantastic parents and Macy and Hayden are destined to be best friends!!!

Proud Parents!!!!

Little Hayden at home!!!

Sleepover at The Wisti's

I had to travel to Phoenix for work this past week and had to leave Macy and daddy alone for 6 whole days! I missed them terribly but they did great. Macy even got to spend one night at the Wisti’s house so daddy could study and take his real estate exam (he passed!!!!). Macy loved playing with her cousins and even “swam” with Brianna in the bath tub. I was so excited to get back home . . . and I am pretty sure daddy and Macy were ready for me to be back!!!!

Aunt Jen sent me these photos while I was gone to brighten my days!!

New Year's Visiting!

We did lots of visiting New Year's Weekend. . . . on New Year's Eve we visited Courtney & Greg, Macy is anxiously awaiting the birth of their little baby girl Hayden (due Jan 30h). . . Macy tried out Hayden's chair!

We also visited with Brianna and Zachary at Grandma Mary' house. . .

And we made a trip up to Fennville to see the Coffindaffer's. . . Macy is finally big enough to sort of play with the boys!!!!

Macy love listening to her cousins sing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!

Christmas at The Gallagher's

On the day after Christmas we headed to the East side of the state (with The Wisti Family) to visit The Gallagher Family. Macy loved playing with her cousins - she thought she was a pretty big girl hanging out with her older cousins.

Merry Christmas! (note: Macy scratched herself under her nose so she has a scratch on her face in all of the photos!)

Christmas Day 2009

Macy's first Christmas was so special. She loved all of the activity and excitement of being with family and also really got the hang of opening presents. She made sure to take off each bow and ribbon before tearing into the paper - so cute!

"good morning, good morning, good morning. . . it's time to rise and shine"

Present from Santa.

Taking off one bow at a time.

She jumped right up on the present to get all of the bows off.

One more bow.

All done!

Help from Dad.

WooHoo - Santa brought Macy a walker!

Finally out of her Christmas PJs!
