4 Years Old!

Makenna turned four on Friday! For sentimentality sake, here's one of my very favorite pictures of her when she was about 10 months old:I let her plan her entire day. Here's what we did:

1. Breakfast of Cinnamon rolls, strawberries and hot chocolate

2. Opened presents:

She got a new baby, several outfits for the baby, a jewelry box w/ jewelry, a Cinderella book, a princess cash register and a Fancy Nancy game

3. Shopping and playtime at the outlets:
Here she has fallen asleep on the way to the outlets (must have been that veeerry early morning excitement for her big day). She would not (and still will not) put down her jewelry box that my mom sent for her! She totes it everywhere we go!

4. Lunch and shopping at Target (this was the first item on her list. Everyday she asks if we can go to Target - funny girl).
5. Play at the park

6. Had a cute friend stop by with a gift:

(And just for the record - she had the CUTEST skirt that I made to match her birthday shirt but she wouldn't wear it :(

7. Dinner at McDonald's (we begged her to change the restaurant but that's what she wanted to do!)

8. Play games at Chuck E. Cheese's 8. Have birthday cake:


Said birthday cake totally did not work out how I planned. This one is a snoozer. Luckily, we had four new princess friends who saved the day. M didn't care - it was pink, it was sparkly and it had princesses!

All in all it was a busy and fun day! We are so blessed to have Makenna in our family! She is such a sweet girl with just enough spunk! She is such a joy!
