Sweet Makayla

Makayla is such a sweet girl. I am very lucky to have a daughter be the oldest child in our family because she is very nurturing to her little brothers. She will often help them and play make believe games with them. Makayla turned 6 on February 27th! I gave Makayla a birthday interview to learn some of her favorite things. Thanks cousin Kiley for the idea!

What is your favorite toy? My Little Ponies, dolls, and Barbies.

Makayla ended up having a great birthday! She enjoyed picking out her chocolate cake and Oreo ice cream, just like she wanted. She shared Oreos packs with her class. She was delighted with her art supplies and created several pieces of work. Grandpa Matt and Grandma Diane came over to visit her. When we asked what her favorite gift was, I thought for sure she would say her new gameboy, but she answered her how to draw books: a flower one, a car one, an animal one, and a people one. She has had a lot of fun with her art set and her new games.

She chose to go to McDonalds for dinner and then to Hollywood Connections. We played on the rides, arcades, and mini golfed. It was a fun family party for her. Now I have a big sweet 6 year old, wow, hard to believe!!!
