To McKenzie

McKenzie Anne
Who is 1 year old

and is 30" tall.
Lover of food,walking, sleeping through the night, drinking from a cup, being held, playing with her big brother, mom, dad and anyone else who will play with her.
Who gives hugs, kisses, five, lots of smiles and laughs to everyone.
Who fears getting more immunizations, and her brother sitting on her head.
Who would like to see her grandmas, grandpas and extended family more than once a year.
Know to her mom as priceless, princess, joy
Who needs to explore and always be on the move.

Family Pictures

My friend Megan is going out of town tomorrow but was nice enough to take our family pictures on Friday and already gave me the pictures back. She did an amazing job at an amazing price. They turned out great, I love them. Thanks Megan.

Princess for a day

Today was McKenzie's birthday so we gave her the royal treatment. She got to wear a crown and we all had to do everything she said (lucky for us she still can't talk so that went over with no complaints from anyone of us).
Then we took her to build a bear to make her very own bear. She loved it.
She got spoiled with lots of cute girl things.
We sang to her and had cake, then went to Coldstone for the ice cream. She is a member of the birthday club and was given a free kid creation.
Being a girl myself I can pretty much guarantee she had a perfect day it involved: shopping, presents, and chocolate. What more could a girl want?

An Amazing Friend

McKenzie is turning one this week and I have no party planned, and no invites handed out, all we were going to do was a little family celebration. Lucky for McKenzie her mom is friends with Melanie(one of the most amazing selfless people in Buffalo), and Melanie, being the wonderful person she is, planned a party for McKenzie and her friend Perry who is just a couple days older.

We started out by making gingerbread houses for the kids. Here are Parker and McKenzie enjoying their house:

Then we sang to the girls and everyone got a cupcake. Here is Kenzie getting a little impatient because Perry wanted to wear her birthday suit.
I love this look she is so confused about what is happening.
Still a little confused about what is going on, she decides to go for it. The 2 birthday girls.
Just a little frosting on the lips was all she wanted to do to celebrate turning one. We will see if on her real birthday she decides to get a little more messy.

Santa

Every year the mall by my house offers breakfast with Santa. Last year Parker's reaction to Santa was absolute fear. This is how the breakfast went last year:
Today I was so proud of Parker, although he wouldn't smile, look at the improvement:Kenzie didn't love or hate Santa, I am pretty sure she just came for the free food.
My favorite part of the day was when we were leaving Santa and Parker told me "Santa no give me Nemo, he give me candy cane." (For Christmas Parker wants Santa to give him Finding Nemo).
