Maizie was Ten All Day Today!

Tonight we had some friends over for Christmas Eve. We had planned to fill Maizie's room with balloons the night before her birthday but Christian was sleeping on the floor and we figured he would not have appreciated being covered with balloons.

What are friends for? To help you blow up close to one hundred balloons! Pat and I got to laughing a few times and kept spitting out the balloons. The dogs are now officially desensitized to balloons.

We had to haul them all upstairs so we put them on a large blanket, folded in the corners and headed up the stairs. Once in Maizie's room Joe and I let go of one corner and you could hear a "swoosh" sound as the balloons fell to the floor. At one point Maizie woke up and I quickly leaned forward, blocking her view and said, "Oh...go back to sleep sweetie...we are just folding up this blanket." Amazingly enough she just nodded and rolled over and fell right to sleep! Whew! That was lucky!

Now we just have to pray that no balloons pop in the middle of the night. That would be bad. We wondered if this would scare Maizie in some way but all agreed she is wild about balloons and will probably get a kick out of it! I hope we are right!

Right before bed Maizie said, "I can't believe I was ten all day today!" Too cute!
