7th Heaven

Today Macklin begins her 7th year of life. We had a fun day of cupcakes at school and a trip to the Golden Corral (her choice ,I promise). She said wanted to go to the Golden Corral because she likes their desserts. We have only eaten at Golden Corral two times in her seven years and both times it was in Cookeville. So, we googled and found that locally there is one in Franklin and one in Hermitage. We mapquested directions and off we went. She happily open presents and ate cupcakes and icecream. I think she liked her gifts (including a jewelry set that contains 15,000, yes 15,000 beads) even though she did not get the petting zoo and violin that she asked for only yesterday. Sadly, these things are not sold at Target. Anyone that knows Macklin knows that she is creative, energetic and full of life! She has her own ideas and her own way of doing things. If you don't let this drive you crazy she is a great kid and I can't wait to see what this year holds for her. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACKLIN! I LOVE YOU!

What a good mom you are to take your child all the way to Franklin to Golden Corral for her birthday. I'm sure she felt special. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACKLIN!

Looks like it was a fun birthday! It's so hard to believe that our girls are turning 7 this year! It seems like just yesterday you were having Macklin, then I had Rachel, and then Laura had Mary Elizabeth! How time flies!!!
