Happy Birthday McKenzie

What a whirlwind last week was. We had a great time helping McKenzie celebrate her 5th birthday. She had much bigger plans than we could accommodate but all in all I think it was a great success. McKenzie decided she was going to have a sleepover for all of her friends. Not only was she going to have a sleepover, it was going to be at Disney World. When I told her we could not afford that she told me that Reiche was going to pay for it. My only question after that was could I go too? I am sure glad she has big aspirations. We were able to talk her into a small party celebrated with her best friend Caroline at Bonkers. Caroline's birthday was April 13th. Her mom and I planned a party for the two girls together and invited some mutual friends from their school. They had so much fun. Since we had the party on a Tuesday night the girls had the whole place to themselves. It was wonderful.

McKenzie's actual Birthday was Wednesday. Tim had school that night but we sang to her that morning and gave her, her birthday present from us. She thought we should sing to her again on Thursday morning. Such a little princess she is :-) I love it.

Then we celebrated with family on Saturday. Saturday was a crazy day but oh so much fun. We went to my grandmas estate auction in the morning and then back to our house in time for our family to arrive. McKenzie had a lot of fun running through the house giggling and playing with her cousins. We enjoyed getting to see and visit with her aunts, uncles, grandparents and great grandparents. They all spoiled her with the amount of gifts she received. We had to do some major searching for homes for everything. But McKenzie has loved everything and plays with her new toys a lot. After the birthday party we went to dinner with Bruce and Cathy/Nana and Pas at Addison's. Dinner was nice and we enjoyed getting to sit down to visit with them. McKenzie loves her Nana so much. She really enjoyed that one on one time with her. McKenzie even got to ride to the restaurant with Nana. She told her all about how she was a "good colorer". I know Nana was well educated during that short commute. I will post some photos from the family party soon.
