We made chocolate cupcakes on Saturday and put three chocolate chips in each one. It was a special bonding time--just Mama and Maggie. Maggie was so excited, she was glued to the oven door in anticipation! She wanted them to be pink with sprinkles and was devastated that we couldn't frost them right away.
Usually, I let the girls make special breakfast requests for their birthdays. Maggie chose chocolate chip pancakes, so we deviated from our typical pancakes on Saturday, waffles on Sunday schedule and had waffles on Saturday and pancakes on Sunday. (Talk about sacrificing for your children!) We started out putting, you guessed it, three chocolate chips in each pancake but quickly decided that was just not enough chocolate, so we worked on counting to four and five instead! Judging by her face, I don't know if any chocolate made it in her mouth!
Poor Maggie. She was so excited for her birthday and her party, but she had a fever, so we had to postpone her party until next Sunday. Talk about devastation! Oh, the tears! This disappointment was magnified by the fact that it was Sunday, so she also couldn't go to church either! Even so, she wanted to wear a pretty dress. Now, she is terribly confused and doesn't think that she really turned three, since she hasn't had her party yet! Here she is with a few of her presents from some family members: new paints and paint brushes, new sneakers and Hello Kitty socks and beautiful jewelry handmade by Big Sister Mary. And how did Jonathan sneak into that picture??? She was delighted when a friend stopped by and surprised her with a special picture and book for her birthday even though she was sick!Happy Birthday, Magsamoos! We thank God for your life and the joy that you bring us!
