Makenna's birthday fell on Mother's Day this year so the poor girl had to share it with me and both her grandma's. We really tried to make it her special day so I hope it turned out okay. She wanted to open presents first thing in the morning. Then we went to church where she sang a couple songs in sacrament meeting for us moms. Then after church we headed up to the Powell's and celebrated her birthday. She picked chicken wings for dinner and she wanted cake pops for dessert. I think it was a great day for her even though she shared it with me.
When we would ask Makenna what she wanted for her birthday everything she wanted she couldn't have for some reason. First she wanted the American Girl doll named Mckenna but she was only available last year so we couldn't get her. Then she wanted a dog but Weston said no. Then she wanted an Ipad but I said no. And lastly she wanted a trampoline and Weston vetoed that too. So the poor girl just wasn't going to get anything for her birthday. She did end up getting some Littlest Pet Shops from Brynn, a cash register for Kason and some clothes from us. She was happy for those things but she was just a little sad when that was all she got. Then we told her she had one last present and this is what she opened.
Wow, that's a big bag! I wonder what is inside!?!?
Look at that big smile!
And the smile gets bigger and bigger!
It's Makenna with her McKenna American Girl doll!!!
I don't think I've ever seen her so excited about a present before. She was grinning from ear to ear all day long and it was all she could talk about. McKenna went with us everywhere that day so she could show everyone. She was so excited and happy. She was just amazed because she thought she couldn't ever have that doll since they weren't making them anymore. But little did she know that she has a very sneaky mom who's had the doll for a year and just couldn't wait to give it to her! And it was worth the wait to see the look on her face!
These are the cake pops that Shellie made for Makenna's dessert. They are little ballerina's with tutu's on. They were seriously the cutest things ever!
Makenna, we sure do you love you! You mean the world to us. You have grown so much in the last 6 years and we just love your energetic personality. You are always keeping us busy with life but we would do anything for you. We are just so proud of all that you have accomplished. With all your devotion to dance and how much you love school. You have learned so much and your continuing to learn so much. You've become an awesome reader and I just love how much you love school. You have taught yourself to do cartwheels, handstands, one handed cartwheels and round offs. If your not dancing then you are kicking and flipping everywhere you go. I just wish I had half your energy to go all day! Love you honey!
