7:30am on February 9, 2011....
A big hug for Christian to thank him for her new pink kitchen (he wanted to be the one to give it to her),

Christian was so excited to help McKenna have a happy birthday.

Dancing with her birthday balloon. She loves to dance around and sing "If you're happy and you know it."

She got lots of kitchen stuff from her Grandmom & PopPop. Her favorite thing was the coffee pot so she can make coffee for daddy.

I love the look on her face, peeking into that gift bag.

She been wanting a sleeping bag for a long time. She can't wait for her cousins to come for a visit so she can try it out.


We got out the good china for our sweet girl!
Christian loves it when we eat in the dining room. They know it's special to use the fancy glasses and fancy plates.
A princess party for our little princess.

I did not get very good pictures of the cake. Oh well. It was pink with a princess and that's all McKenna cared about.

McKenna still hasn't figured out how to blow out a candle. Daddy finally blew it out. Grandmom was a little horrified that McKenna was spitting on the cake. Ha! We all ate it anyway.

This girl loves icing!

The end! It was a fabulous day, perfectly fitting for our fabulous girl.

what a sweetie pie!!! I love the pic of her dancing around in your living room!! She is such a blessing to you guys and I know she's going to be a great big sister!!
Oh, and don't you just hate that she takes her shoes off in the car? Natalie and Wyatt both did that--and sometimes still do! Makes getting out of the car somewhere so much work!
