Happy 3rd Birthday, Makenzie!

Makenzie's birthday was Monday the 16th of December!  We were hoping that Matt could take the day off or come home early to get out and do "fun" things... but he was absolutely swamped at work.  That is okay!  Makenzie, Madison and I made the best out of the day and Daddy joined in later!!

After waking up and finding Deer (our elf) had blown up balloons and had them sitting outside her door, she brought him right to the time out corner.  Hmm.... sorry buddy! 

Moving on, we started the day off right with some pancakes and bacon!! 

(so not happy here having to pause for a picture before digging in.  BTW... this girl ate 2x as many pancakes as me!!!!)

 

We played the rest of the morning until Nina & Pop surprised Makenzie by coming over with a few gifts!!

Rain coat!

The girls listening to Nina read Makenzie's new book.

She had a little quiet time.

"Tee" Time. (TV)

Then outdoors we went to play!

She loves Tinkerbell, so we decided to have a Tinkerbell birthday :-)

And out she went with the Tinkerbell wings!

Then Daddy came home, so we immedietely dug into cake and ice cream!!

Are they not the greatest!?!?

LOUD!!!

Make a wish!

Makenzie's Tinkerbell cake with her Blue Moon ice cream!

Then we made Makenzie's Birthday dinner!  Burgers, fries & applesauce!  (All her picking!)

Time for gifts!

And then the camera died...

She got a little train set, purple polka-dotted flannel sheets for her bed, scissors, BIG book, stickers and lots of cards!

It sure was a fun day.  We did what she wanted ALL day and it was just FUN.  All day long she kept saying how excited and happy she was... precious!  Soon after we put her to bed I fell asleep on the couch nursing Madison.  It is exhausting keeping up with a two THREE YEAR OLD!!
