The spread: a brunch with eggs benedict casserole, sausages, pancakes, berries, angel food cake, blueberry pancake cupcakes with maple frosting, fruit, juice and coffee.
Despite Grammy's best efforts, Maci decided to gear up for the party by skipping her nap...
Ellis drew this picture of and for Maci on her actual birthday: It says 'To: Maci Love Ellis' and is a drawing of Maci "as a big kid because she has long hair" wearing a crown and holding a balloon.

"Maci" "opening" her presents while Ellis "helps"
First cupcake and frosting ever:
A slow start, but...
Girlfriend managed to polish off the entire cupcake, minus the drips of frosting that escapes to her chest and belly.
I feared there would be lots of crying thanks to going into the party without a nap, but this moment was the only unhappy face I saw on M all morning. She had a great time!
