Hey everyone! I just wanted to share with you about McKenzie's special day today! First of all, we cannot believe that she is already about to turn 1 on the 9th. This year has just flown by. She has just grown and grown and grown from a little 7 lbs. 13 oz. to a healthy 21.6! She had an amazing 1st birthday party today. She was surrounded by all her family and some wonderful friends as well that we consider "family!" In the middle of her celebration we got a very exciting phone call from Africa! Uncle Jeffrey never misses a beat! He was right on time and got to speak to everyone here. It was wonderful to hear from him!
McKenzie's birthday was a cupcake theme and everyone went all out with it! It was so much fun! Grandma Norton had a cupcake painted on her nail when she had her nails done and Katie had a cupcake painted on her check from a kids program this morning! McKenzie had lots of presents wrapped in cupcake paper and cupcake gift bags as well. It was really fun to have a theme!
I made McKenzie a giant cupcake and let her have at it. At first she just looked at me as if to say, can I really have this? She just poked it at first and then she just dug her little hands right inside the middle of the cupcake! It was everywhere! Then she ran her fingers through her hair! Some of the cupcake ended up on the floor. It was so funny to watch. She did such a great job of devouring her special cake!
Enjoy the pictures to follow and have a great rest of the weekend!
