We had such a fun night celebrating Grandma’s birthday on Wednesday.  We went out for dinner, then had cake and presents.

We love you Grandma, for being such a wonderful mom and grandma, and for taking such good care of us all.  Happy Birthday!!

A glimpse into our future

Katie babysits a little 4-month-old baby girl while her mom works, so we’re having a good time watching how Makenna acts around her, especially when I’m holding the baby.  Laura was documenting our latest encounter…  😉

She was fine with me holding the baby at first

 …then she decided it was her turn to hold the baby.  I love our expressions.

 After I explained that the baby couldn’t fit in her highchair with her, she understood.  Then she saw Katie putting some shorts on the baby, and Makenna was very upset b/c she thought they were hers (she has the exact same pair in a bigger size, haha).

 Deciding she’s not too keen on the baby wearing HER shorts!

But never fear, she recovered quickly.  🙂

Party Time

September 5, 2007

Well, Makenna had a wonderful birthday party, thanks to the tons of family members who were able to come.  As always, I wish I had remembered to take pictures of everyone, but of course I didn’t.  Her guests of honor included:  Grandma, Papa, Laura, Katie, Sarah, Danielle, Grammy, Baba, Kylie, Katy, Jake, Jeff, Abby, Zach…did I forget anyone?  Well, us, of course.  🙂  She received far too many presents for her own good, and loved them all.  Thank you so much everyone!!
