Maya generally does not like the idea of getting older because Josh keeps telling her the new jobs she'll have to do each time she turns a year older. Despite that, she was really excited for her birthday this year. As usual, she was super excited to get some new American Girl outfits. Thanks Grandma Maureen and Poppy!
We've been enjoying reading American Girl mystery books lately, so she got a couple of those this year that aren't available at our library - one about Josefina and one about Felicity.
Maya has been wanting a remote control helicopter for a while now. She was very happy to get one this year. Unfortunately, it didn't survive the day. Those things really need to be more durable! Or I guess we should have paid more attention to the 14+ age recommendation on the box. Maybe we'll try one again when she's older.
Kate and her very generous mother (and brother and sister) gave Maya a ticket to see the musical
Wicked with Sara and Kate this summer. I loved her reaction.
I think the girls will love the musical and they'll love seeing it together.
Mum and Dad also got Maya something she has been wanting for a while - Chocolate Chip. That is the name of this dog that is, yes, an American Girl toy!

Superb photos. Snazzy PJs! Laughed out loud at the picture of Maya leaping on Kate!
Wow, poor Kate's foot! That'll be such a fun experience for them. For years Ethan always asked for a remote control something or other. Just the other night he told me he he's hoping for an ipod this year because remote control toys always break. It's a sad lesson to learn.
Happy birthday, Maya. It sounds like she got lots of cool loot. I really like the birthday cake.
