Mackenson's Birthday:)

Our silly boys with their silly shoes.

Beaming over his cake

We have to wear our party shoes!

Our group

Mackenson loves sitting type pictures

Not sure what Jn Robert is doing here.

Jn Robert yelled, "wait", as I was gonna take the picture.
He wanted to be a part of the cake eating group too.

Mackenson had a wonderful birthday. His friends outdid Nixon and I as he came home with a new shirt, new jeans, and a silver chain(the kind Nixon really wants).
We ussually celebrate here in the home with cake and a small gift. Well, the boys came up as usual at about 8:00pm. I heard them as they came up. There was marching and singing as they came up. I was laughing already. As if it wasn't enough, Wisky pointed out that they were wearing shoes in honor of the birthday. Sure enough, all of them were wearing nice shiny church shoes in honor of Mackenson's birthday. They were loud, boisterous and wonderful. And it was hilarious!
We had our usual devotion time and then I brought out the cake. Mackenson LOVED it! I ussually don't outdo myself with cake making for my boys. They are all so old that I don't think they will make such a fuss over it. Oh my gosh! They all took pictures with the cake and Mackenson beemed as Wisky complemented it and he proudly said that Madam Nixon had made it just for him. (I have to admit that it was a pretty cute cake.) Nixon was kind of proud too since he got to write Mackenson's name on the cake. LOL!
We had cake and 7 up and Mackenson got a nice card with a nice big phone card so he could call his friends and tell them what a wonderful birthday he had had. :)
Mackenson has been doing so much better this year. He is learning how to get positive attention. He is doing wonderfully and I think he knows it. He has also been a lot more social with the boys. Last year he did not seem to want to be a part of the team, even choosing to not watch movies with them or go to the beach. I am glad to see him being a part of the group a lot more this year.
Nixon and I pray that Mackenson would grow more mature this year, confident in himself with God on his side(instead of relying on drama), and that he would grow in the knowledge and confidence that he is loved by us and the Lord. He has also always been a worrier, I pray that the Lord would give him peace as He does his best and lets God do the rest.
Happy Birthday Mackenson!
