A Birthday Mac-Attack !

On Mia's birthday she asked for one thing, "to go see Mac at Shoto Cafe for cake". Shoto Cafe is a small coffee shop one block from our home. The crowning glory of Shoto Cafe is it's resident dog, Mac. Mac sits on a little bed at the front door and greets all the passers-by. Mia has fallen hopelessly in love with Mac. Mac is the perfect specimen of a Japanese dog: small, immaculately groomed, and impeccably dressed. We invited Mayu-chan and her mother to join us. Here's Mia hugging her favorite thing in Japan, Mr. Mac.

This was the first time Mayu had met Mac and she was taken with him too. She's wearing the princess dress she got at Mia's Princess Party. Her mom said that she has worn it every day since she got it... I didn't have the heart to tell her mom that it is a nightgown...



Shoto Cake prepared a birthday cake fit for royalty.



Make a wish...



Five years old never looked so good!

I guess 5 year old girls are the same everywhere... give them a princess dress and be prepared to have them take a bath in it because they never want to take it off. Sophia was like, no, IS like that still... and she's not yet 5 (8 more days). Big hugs to the Tarrant-McGraths!
