Macy's 2nd Birthday

My sweet little girl turned two this week. (I know I say this all of the time, but I can't believe Macy is already this old and big). We celebrated Macy's birthday with a fun lunch with Tim and his assistant Kisha in Quincy and then finished the night off with her favorite food, Mac and Cheese and then a delicious Elmo Cake.  (Sesame Street is currently her favorite thing in the world!)

We got Macy a little kitchen for her birthday and she has spent the past few days in heaven. She takes Tim by the hand to go up to her room so that she can play with it. Of course, she can't play by herself but loves to bake bread in the microwave, wash her hands in the sink, and put the food away in the fridge. I'm so excited that she loves her present!!!
