Our baby turned 2 on May 30th. I can hardly believe it. I have just found that it is the best time for a birthday. Things are much more relaxed and the weather is so great. No getting ready for Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas. Just birthday party time. McKenna's birthday was on a saturday so we celebrated the whole day.

We started off with daddy making pancakes and a few special pancakes for McKenna.

Then we headed off for a picnic at the park with presents to open.

All the party goers.

McKenna LOVES babies and so this baby cradle I found was perfect. Alexa made the dolls out of fabric, buttons and yarn.

Then for the BIG present from both the Grandparents:

A car to ride in for walks. Thanks G'ma & G'pa Gibb and Grumps and Abuela. It's a big hit everytime McKenna comes outside.

After the park we came home and had cake and ice cream. Alexa and Olivia had just done cake decorating at Activity Days and so they practiced their new skills on McKenna's cake. Pretty good job, I'd say.

After cake and ice cream we went to our dear friends, the Eckholdt's to go swimming. They went out of town so we got to take care of their plants and pool while they were away - for our payment we got to swim whenever we wanted. Love that plan.

AAAHHHH!

Happy Birthday sweet McKenna. We are so blessed to have you in our family. We are so grateful for your darling spirit and love watching you as you experience this life with us.
