Makaela turns 5!

This week has been the week of birthday celebrations.  We went out for a family dinner on Monday for Makaela's bday since Matt was supposed to work the night of her birthday, but on Tuesday, it turned out he got out of work early to come home, so we went again.  She got sung to quite a bit (not to mention was very well fed)  It's hard to believe that five years ago Makaela was just entering the world...and now she acts as if she owns it :-)  She has grown into such a bright little lady; we are so blessed.  We just hope the next five years don't fly by like the first five did. 

At Chili's on Monday night

 

Then we came home to find Grammy and Papa Hoffman's bday gifts at the door. We had lots of video, but the files were too large to upload to Blogger.  I'm sure you can gather how excited she was.

 

On her actual birthday, we went to Yamoto's, the hibachi grill (or as Makaela refers to it, "the chopping place")
