After Makayla's big birthday celebration she managed to still have a little energy to open a few birthday gifts. Amazing that she wanted to do this. This year we asked that each of her friends bring their favorite used or new books for her to donate to the Friends of the Library (FOTL) and CHOC hospital in lieu of gifts. We just have too many toys from the holidays that just passed. But of course there were those that didn't pay attention to the rules and still got her a few toys. She loved it but understood about donated. She just said she wanted to read them all before we donate them which we will for her. I think these are good lessons for her to be learning at this early age to give!
She picked out the gift bag from Grandma Jennie, Grandpa Stan, Uncle Alan and Auntie Som first. They got her a bunch of kitchen appliances which she loved. It went perfectly with the kitchen we all got her for Christmas. After that one she was over opening up any other presents. She just wanted those all put together to play with. But shortly after that she passed out and fell asleep. It was a long day!
After about 3 hours she woke up from a really good nap! I gave her a nice bath and she was ready to open all the other birthday gifts! She got lots of good books to donate and some for herself and some new fun toys too! Thank you everyone for all the goodies!
