Happy Birthday Makenna!

Two years ago today at 10:12pm our beautiful baby girl was born.
We became a family of three,
And I became a mommy for the first time.
Our tiny 7 lbs 2 oz baby started to grow and in a blink of an eye,
She turned ONE!
I blinked a second time and today she is TWO!
The last two years haven't always been easy but they have been the best of my life. I wouldn't trade this beautiful girl for anything! I love you Makenna Grace! Happy Birthday my sweet angel girl!

Party Time!

Makenna is turning two on Wednesday and we had a big party for her today! She LOVES Winnie the pooh, so we had a Winnie the Pooh themed party for her. Everything was pooh themed including the food. Here are pictures from her fabulous party today!
At the party we had:
Decorations.
Lots of yummy food including, Eeyore's rainy day meatballs, piglet's in a blanket, Roo's Kanga pouches,
Tigger tails, Rabbit's veggie patch, Christopher Robin's pink salad, Gopher dirt with Owl's book worms, Pooh's honey pot and delicious cake!
The kids agreed that the food was yummy!
They also ran around and played,
We played games like pin the tail on Eeyore.
I made a beehive pinata. The kids loved it! It was well worth my all of my time, effort and frustration as I watched the smiles on their faces as they hit it with all of their might. We had them hit it in order of age so they would all have a chance to hit it before it broke open. They actually all got to have two turns before Jared successfully broke it.
Chloe's turn.
Carys,
Kenna,
Casen,
Libby,
Avery,
Ally,
and Jared.
Diving for the loot!
We sang happy birthday,
Blew out candles.
Ate the delicious cake.
Opened presents. Makenna even had many little helpers opening her gifts.
We gave the kids adorable gifts which also served as center pieces on the "adult" tables. I painted the hunny pots, and filled them with Winnie the Pooh puzzles, bubbles, playdough, stickers, and a bag of gummy bears with a little note that read "a BEARY special thank you for coming to my party love, Makenna." They also all got to take a home a balloon.
We also had a LOT of fun! It was great watching the kids play and have fun together. Thank you to everyone that was able to come to the party today! We loved having you there and we appreciate your love and friendship to us!

Playing Dress Up!

As I mentioned in my previous post Makenna got a ton of dress up clothes for Christmas. I finally pulled out my camera and got a few shots of her playing today. She is at a great age and loves to pretend so these dress up clothes are right up her ally!
Tinkerbell was at our house today!
Sometimes tinkerbell needs a witch hat...
And fairy wands...
Silly girl saying CHEESE!
Super girl was at my house today to!
And... Just because she's cute. I forgot about these pictures I took a couple of weeks ago.
My beautiful baby girl! It's hard to believe she is going to be TWO next week!
I can't get enough of this little girl lately. She is such a joy to have around. I am so blessed to be her mama!
