Marcelina's Birthday

I must back track a few days and tell you Marcelina my oldest had a birthday. She turned 7 on November 25th. I must say her birthday was a bit more memorable in that I started having labor pains the day of Thanksgiving. I wasn't due until December 20th- a day after my birthday! Anyhow I did a lot good breathing because there was no way I was going to miss Thanksgiving dinner! I remember they were intense at times bringing tears to my eyes. But after dinner...the pains subsided! By the time I did go into the hospital that Sunday I was dilated to 9! Needless to say, I had her soon after.So here we are 7 years later, Marcelina has turned out to be my girly girl, smart, outgoing, loves to dance and sing. She use to want to be a nurse, a teacher and a policewoman. Now she wants to be a Rock Star! Thanks Hannah Montana! Well she has a few years to outgrow this! For now she can have fun dressing up!For the first time in her 7 years we did not have a birthday party for her. We had to keep it low-budget, which honestly is hard for me. We did manage to do stuff she loved though. We took her to Disneyland (thanks Nana & Grandpi for those annual passports!) We split up for a little bit. Daddy and Alex hung out at Disney while us girls hung out. Marcelina got dolled up at Club Libby Lu in Downtown Disney. Trust me she was in girly-girl heaven! She's funny she's missing 3 teeth right now, and is unsure of how to smile at this point. Then we all got back together and enjoyed our day at Disneyland. Initially Marcelina wasn't being very nice to her brother, because she wanted to do her girly-girl thing, but the by the end of the night they were best buddies again.
