Gabrielle Staffs...

As Im sure everyone knows, the girls and Grandma are obsessed with Xena! Grandma made a Gabrielle staff a long time ago with Lynn, and the girls have been begging her to make one with them. So Grandma went out and bought the stuff for them to make it, and came over early one morning and made them with Makayla, Haylee, Payten and Aaron. :] They had a blast!! 

Kaylas Birthday with Grandpa and Nana :]

The weekend after Makayla's Birthday we went over to Grandpa and Nana's to celebrate with them. They baked Makayla a very cute and delicious cake, took us out to Pizza Hut for dinner and bought Makayla a really cute jacket. However, the jacket was a little snug, so they returned it and gave her a gift card to Boot Barn. The pizza and pasta from Pizza Hut were delicious and so was the cake! We also watched Madagascar 2 (Grandpa got it off of the internet) and played Skip Bo! It was a great way to celebrate! 

Makayla's Bday - I know, im a lil late.

Okay, so I am a little behind on times. IM SORRY!!! December was just a busy, busy month for me. Finals, term papers, Christmas shopping, Christmas itself! AHHHH. I even had to give up my Journal Your Christmas because of all the hustle and bustle! Anyways, Makayla's birthday was definitely ALL about her!! My mom, dad, Haylee and I (and all the pups) woke her up on her birthday morning! I had went out and bought her balloons and a horse stuffed animal (she said she wanted a horse for her birthday, the stuffed horse was the best we could do ;)) When she woke up, I tried to make pancakes.... but that didn't work so well. We had cereal instead. HAHA

After we ate and got ready, we headed out to Miss. Deborah's (the girls horse trainer) for Makayla and Haylee to do their horse lessons. Makayla chose to do horse lessons that day as one of her birthday presents, hehe. After lessons, we headed back home. Grandma Gilba came over, and Makayla opened her present from Grandma. She got some reallly cute black furry boots. 

After relaxing for a little bit, we headed out to Elsinore to meet Grandma Cathy for dinner at Lone Star Restaurant. Lone Star is a western themed Steak House and when the lights flicker in the restaurant the whole staff begins to do a two step type dance to a country song. Its totally fun and a crack up!! Makayla opened her gifts at Lone Star. She got the Kanye West CD, a cowgirl hat, a lead rope for a horse, a video game, a beanie, a poster of Jacob, makeup, and some hair stuff. I'd say she made out pretty well!  

So all in all, she had a great birthday! Happy 13th Birthday Makayla!!
