January 5, 2010

So how did my now six-year-old spend her birthday this year?  January 5, 2010 was the first day back to school after Christmas break, so she  couldn’t wait to share the good news of her birthday with her classmates.  She jumped out of bed that morning eager to begin her birthday.  With 30 white-frosted, pink-sprinkled cupcakes in tow, her day began as she was dubbed the classroom princess, so she says.  She was morning board leader, line leader and even received flowers from Nonnie at school.

After dance class that afternoon, we did what we always do on birthdays.

We headed to Los Tres for a birthday dinner, Mexican style!  (I will have to say that she is her father’s daughter.  I offered the choice of Chuck E. Cheese with the four of us (Mommy, Daddy, MC and McCanless) or Mexican with anyone else who could make it on a last minute notice.)  She loves celebrating with a crowd.  So, Los Tres it was!

Mary Clare, donning one of McCanless’ gifts, a party dress, spent the evening bargaining with grandparents for quarters for the tatoo and gumball machines.

McCanless loves new clothes!

Happy Birthday-Day, McCanless!
