We had so much fun at Mackenzie's 1st Birthday party. We had a valentine theme of course what else could we do since she was born on Valentines Day. We had lots of desserts, watched a video of her 1st year and then opened presents. We even had a little table set up where some of the kids could make little valentine cards. Mackenzie loved her birthday cake she just kept eating and eating she did not stop until we took it away. She even fussed at us a little when we did take it away. We had lots of friends and family there to celebrate even though it was cold and snowy outside. We also missed those of you who were unable to make it and for you Garrison is working on putting the video he made for the party online so you all can watch it too.
We also went to the pediatrician yesterday for her 1 year old check up and she weighed in at 16 lbs and 12 ounces (2nd percentile not even on the chart) and she is 27 inches long (5th percentile). She is definitely a peanut.
Here is Mackenzie with her 1st car! She got it from Granna and Grandpart for her birthday. She is not quite tall enough to "drive" by herself, but she does enjoy having it pushed by someone other than her big sister Madalyn. Madalyn goes a little too fast for her.
Madalyn, Mackenzie and I went to Birmingham one weekend for a girls' vacation while Garrison had to do some out of town work. Our weekend turned into almost a whole week because Garrison's work took longer than expected, but Aunt Susan was gracious enough to let us stay with her the whole time. The girls had so much fun at her house. We did lots of fun things. Madalyn went to the Mcwain Center (an interactive science museum type place) where she made a friend her age from Aunt Susan's church named Hayden. The girls also got to play with their cousins Whitney and Audrey and some of their friends. We also did lots of projects in the scrapbooking room (which Madalyn called the "project room") I also got to go and visit some of Aunt Susan's favorite scrapbooking stores which I really enjoyed. This picture was taken the last day of our Girl's Vacation. Madalyn still talks about our Girls Vacation and when are we going to do it again.
