Makenzie's 9 :-)

This is how Makenzie woke up and came upstairs on this beautiful birthday morning :-)


She got to open one gift before breakfast:


books (i really should've gotten her another bookSHELF instead of more books)



I took cupcakes to Makenzie's lunch today. The poor girl was so busy handing out cupcakes to everyone that she forgot to eat any and we forgot to have her stand up for all the cafeteria to sing "happy birthday" to her (gradeschool tradition).

Since I already had the polar bear growth charts out, I actually measured and weighed Makenzie on her birthday. This RARELY happens.


Right before dinner, Makenzie got to open another gift: a movie to watch for dinner (clam chowder, just in case you're wondering what the little princess chose for her birthday dinner).


After dinner, she opened the rest of her gifts: the board game "Tea Party" (a girlie version of "Cootie") . . .


. . . and some jewelry (because a princess can NEVER have too much jewelry!)


After a game of "Tea Party," Makenzie finally got to eat one of her birthday cupcakes :-)


I have incredibly beautiful children. They are the greatest blessings that God can possibly give to me!

today's song: "Charmed Life" by Joy Williams

Just sit tight
Don't you even think about going anywhere
Stay where you are
Open up your eyes to what's already there
What I'm about to tell ya
What I'm about to say
Don't even let it throw ya
It just might change your day
We're living in a charmed life
