Mckell's Early Birthday Celebration

In a few days Mckell will be turning 7 years old. We had a big birthday party/Easter egg hunt with the Ropelato side of the family. It was a lot of fun! Jerry and Darinda had eggs hidden all over their yard, we had a fire to roast hot dogs and marshmellows, then had cake and ice cream for all of the birthday girls.
I had a proud mommy moment with Mckell. After the egg hunt, we were sitting around the fire and Jeff said, "Mckell that was really nice of you to give one of your silver eggs to Jocelyn". I asked Mckell what he was talking about and she told me that Jocelyn didn't get any golden or silver eggs (those were the eggs that had $10 and $20 bills in them). Mckell had 3 silver eggs with $20 bills in them so she gave one to Jocelyn, since Jocelyn didn't get any. Proud Mommy Moment!!!! No one asked Mckell to give Jocelyn one of her eggs, she just did it out of the goodness of her own heart. She is such a sweet girl and always thinking about others. I'm proud and lucky to be her mom :) She is a sweetheart!

When we got home, Mckell had to lay out everything she'd gotten, since she opened her presents so quickly that Dave and I really didn't see what she'd gotten. She hit the pay dirt :) Happy early birthday Mckell!
