Family Birthday

Last weekend, we had the family over for Chicky Magoo 2's birthday. She was very excited to get her birthday celebration under way! She had a Max and Ruby party. Since there are no Max and Ruby plates, cake pans, cups, etc., I had to improvise and make a bunny cake that sort of looked like them. At least SHE thought it looked like them, which was all that mattered.

The girls came home that morning from Mr. Magoo's parents house. We had been in Vegas, and the kids were with them. We were excited to see them and as we were giving hugs, Chicky Magoo 2 noticed the balloons on her chair. She was SO excited and said "Is I be 3 now?" We explained that her actual birthday was Tuesday, but we were celebrating it today. She didn't seem to get it, but also didn't seem to care!

Chicky Magoo 2 has been asking for a new car seat "like Chicky Magoo 1's" for about 6 months now. Mr. Magoo and I did some major research into safety standards and finally decided on a car seat for her. I still can't believe that we don't have any of those bulky baby car seats anymore! It has been a LOT easier since she got this one! I remember not being able to wait until the girls could sit forward facing and now I'm amazed that the seat we brought them both home in is out of our car. WOW!

Once Chicky Magoo 2 realized that it was a car seat she couldn't wait to put it in the car. You can see her below giving the "thumbs up!" I guess we did a good job! :)




Chicky Magoo 1 was happy to help Chicky Magoo 2 in any way she could during the party. Chicky Magoo 2 can't read, so she decided she would read the cards for her.
Chicky Magoo 2 got some great gifts and she had been playing with them non-stop ever since. Here is her Tinkerbell costume she got. I think it was a little bright out for her to actually smile! Ha Ha! (she does have her Daddy's light sensitive eyes!)

She got Lincoln Logs too, which I will have to post up pictures of their creations later. I can't tell who has more fun with them; Mr. Magoo, Chicky Magoo 1, Chicky Magoo 2 or all of them together. They do love building!

This bottom picture is of the girls in their car seats in the car. Chicky Magoo 2 couldn't WAIT to go somewhere in the car. Her favorite part of the car seat is the it has hidden cup holders! Mr. Magoo and I are now obsessed with "keeping the car seat clean!" I know it won't last for that long, since our track record shows that it will have something sticky or gooey on it within the first week, but hey we can dream!
