Maggie’s birthday was two weeks ago (I’m just behind, no surprise there). She asked to open a present as soon as she woke up. We had promised she could open one big present on her birthday and the rest at her party (more on that later). Maggie was very happy with these princess dolls.

She had gymnastics that morning. I told her that we could get her nails painted afterwards. She was over-the-moon and asked if I would take her to a salon.

So that’s how Maggie ended up getting her fingernails painted and her first real pedicure. She knew she wanted her nails to be “pink and glittery.” I don’t think she was expecting so many options though.

She enjoyed every minute of it and kept telling me how “relaxin” it was to be getting “saloned.”

Her only complaint was that she couldn’t see her toes when she put her shoes back on. So that led to Maggie getting her first pair of flip-flops (they are also pick and glittery).

We had lunch at the mall’s food court (soft pretzel bites – Maggie’s choice). She asked if she could ride on one of the vehicles and Annie got to go for a spin too. I apologize for the honking in the video – the birthday girl kept beeping the horn.

I also let her try one of the claw machines. She was thrilled when she won a duck (don’t tell Maggie, but there’s a winner every time).

And of course there were cupcakes.

5 looks good on her!
