Happy Birthday Makayla!

Today is Makayla's 5th birthday..Hard to believe, she is growing up so fast!
We have had a death in our family, Grandma Martin- Brad's Dads Mother- Passed away on Dec. 26th.. For those of you that don't know, we are living in Granmda's house. She went to live in the nursing home I think in 2000. We had the viewing tonight and the funeral will be in the morning.
With all this, we had an improvision for Makayla's birthday..We took the girls to Jackson for lunch at Chucky Cheese! She loved it and we had a small cake and ice cream too...She even got to open a few presents today! She will be having a Tinkerbell Party Saturday at the Gym of Dreams in Brookhaven. With all of this on top of Christmas, we are also "breaking ground" tomorrow morning on our house! (weather permitting)
So needless to say we are super busy around here...oh and Our 9th Wedding anniversary is on th 2nd of Jan!
I will update with some pics as soon as we slow down a little!
Have a Happy New Year
Amber
