Mackenzie turned 2 on November 23rd! She had three parties this year, one with most parts of her family.
Saturday, November 19th was her first party with my moms family. It turned into a disaster and I thank God she won't remember it when she's older, but we won't get into details. We bought pizza and pop and I made a yummy cake. Pretty proud of the way it looked because I'm not good at making cakes look pretty :) She got a few outfits, a Dora doll for the bath and her favorite, a princess tea set.
Wednesday was her actual birthday but dad wasn't able to make it home. I took the kids to grandpa and Gege's (Carol) for lunch. Plus, Aunt Ney Ney was in town! Aunt Ney Ney got her princess dress up stuff, which she loves and wears everyday.
Of course, Thursday was thanksgiving, which is always busy. Marty got home late Wednesday so she opened her presents when she woke up. We got her an outfit and a 30 piece playdoh set! She loves playdoh. We went to Marty's moms around noon. We had her birthday with them then since everyone was in town. She got 2 baby dolls, a new purse, folding table and chairs, her size, and a mini pillow pet! She sleeps on that every night!
Friday, we had her party at Grandpa and Gege's! All aunts were there except Ney Ney who was in school or working. Our friends Tim and April came to join in the fun! We got her a Cinderella cake from meijer. Grandpa and Gege got her a Cinderella balloon and doll. They also got her 3 new outfits and a big magnadoodle. Aunt Danielle got her a princess music set (recorder, tambourine, maracas and a harmonica). Aunt Taylor got her a princess cup with a straw. Best part-it doesn't spill! Aunt Jo got her a bunch of Abby Cadabby stuff (sesame street character), which she loves. Tim and April got her the Leapfrog Tag Junior reading system. We do a lot of reading with regular books, but this is great when she wants to read while I'm cooking, cleaning or feeding Cameron. Aunt Melody and Uncle Curtis got her a gift card from Carter's, who children's clothes I love. I just ordered her a dress and leggings, so we're just waiting for it to get here!
We had a very busy week of celebrating, and it's hard to believe that she's already 2! Time really does fly as you get older.
awww- what a good birthday weekend!!! glad you got to celebrate with so many people:) wish we were one of them!
