It was Miss Mace's birthday over the weekend & when she opened her gifts in the morning a little surprise brought her so much JoY.
-I love wrapping things in a creative way! This is a big paper fan flower that I just stuck right on top of her present. It looked so cute!- |
She has waited patiently for a phone for awhile now.
{Not ever whining, begging or pleading which I was so proud of}
We held off getting her a phone because we felt like she didn't really have a need for one quite yet & we wanted her to learn to communicate with her friends face to face instead of just texting all the time.
{Learn to do things the good old fashioned way}
But getting more & more on the go & heading into High School next year & all the activities that come with that we thought it was time to get her her own phone.
I texted some family & friends, the night before, her new number & asked them to send her a birthday text.
{The phone was already wrapped & turned off}
-Shhh... That's it in the lime polka dot box with a yellow tassel taped onto it for a bow- |
My hope was that when she opened up her phone, turned it on she would be flooded with texts from everyone.
Well.... the surprise worked & she was so excited! It was so fun to watch her pure joy, happiness & squeals of excitement when she realized who the messages were from coming in one right after the other.
+Plus,it was a great way for her to get every one's contacts into her phone.
{2 birds with 1 stone ;)}
Just watch this little video of her opening up her phone. I just love it. My favorite part is at the end when she says,
"This is great, this is great!"
It truly was a great time to watch & capture the moment of her being so thrilled. Actually, I don't know who was more excited her or Audrey & Emily. They were pretty pumped about it too.
