2/22/09- AKA Makayla's Birthday

We had such a great day today!

Today was AWANA day at church. The focus on the children is a bit hit at church lately and today was no exception. The kids love the attention and the adults get to relax a bit and enjoy! All of the children that participate in AWANA were called to the stage where they got to sing a song with Nic. BUT the best part was each section of AWANA had a child chosen to recite a memory verse of their choosing. Makayla was the cubbie chosen to do that and it couldnt have been on a more perfect day... her birthday! She didnt hesitate one second to take that microphone from Childrens Minister, Karen. She said her verse (a little faster than we had practiced) but she said it loud and clear! I was so excited for her. Shocked a little that she didnt bust out in song but proud none the less. I love our church and everyone there!

Then it was party time! We headed to Jumping Party to have her birthday extravaganza! We were a smidge late since church ran a little long and we still had to pick up Papa and the cake from walmart. Makayla had such a great time with all her friends!

You cant tell by these pictures that she had any fun can you? I want to thank all my friends and family that came and made it such a special day for her. It really meant a lot!!! She had a great day and I am sure its one that she wont be forgetting anytime soon!

The kids had a lot of fun. It wiped Brandon out so much that he crashed within minutes of getting into bed last night.

Makayla was so cute yesterday and did a great job with her verse. That's gutsy to get up in front of the whole congregation like that! And I'm guessing from the vid above that she also did a good job on the "Deep Down in My Heart" song we performed. :)

I am so proud of her for reciting a verse! I get nervous just at the thought of reciting verses. LOL Such a fun day! Jack and Luke had a blast!
