She's 5, surprised, excited, sad, then joyous again...

On November 27th, darling Maizie turned 5! She had a whole day o' fun planned for herself :)
The boys and their buddy Jack 2 came to wake Maizie up with her favorite McDonalds cinnamon roll. And yes, she is still asleep because she is the one family member that sleeps in!
She was super excited to see her yummy breakfast and hear her birthday song! Jack, Beau, and Jack 2 loved performing for her.
She wanted to eat in bed just like Jack got to do for his birthday so we let her.
After breakfast she opened her Pappy's present and was happy about getting a Baby Alive!
Our first stop was to the mall! When I was 5 my mom let me get my ears pierced so I thought we could carry on the tradition and let Maizie get hers done at 5 years old too. This has been something she's been talking about for about a year now - so there was some significant build up. Here she is unsuspecting and just so excited.
After...
Poor darling!
When she looked in the mirror at her lovely new Hello Kitty earrings in her ears she started to settle down. Luckily the crying lasted for only a minute because there was more fun to be had!
Off to Chuck E Cheese baby! She had forgotten all about the awful abuse suffered at the Claire's store and now is at Chuck E Cheese opening presents and playing games. We brought our neighbor, Cher, who's 10 but loves hanging with our kids. Maizie had an awesome time here!
The tongue helps her perform better at the games.
Maizie is picking her nose on her favorite game here! Some boat thing? But she does love it!
Aunt Tiffani & Maizie in her new hat from Cher! She'll be ready for those cold So-Cal winters ;)
Maizie and her BFF Chuck
Awwww, the proud parents...
Oh, someone else got sucked into the picture...
Alright! Everyone! At the happiest place on Earth! er.. almost - Happiest place today!!

Few pics of Thanksgiving fun

Thanksgiving, oh it was so fun! We don't have that many pictures of it for some reason!! We were too busy eating and then lazing about. We went over to our buddies Wes & Michelle Turnbow's house and had dinner with all of their family. There were 30 people there and it was super great, somehow we missed pictures of everyone!
Wes & I having some sort of fascinating discussion as you can see. Me making a weird face. awesome.
Trav & I in the dark.
Jack not wanting to look at the camera because that would cause his face to turn away from the computer!
Beau is a hippie, with a collar.
Jack and a couple of the Turnbow boys hanging out at the computer, of course!
Evelyne & Maizie looking cute and sassy.
Me and baby Wolverine
Beau and his "Eye of the Tiger" karaoke rendition. It was off the hook!
Maizie mostly just likes to hold the microphone and have everyone look at her while she talks in it. What are we going to do with her?
And Travis... nothing more to say! Great Thanksgiving!
