Happy Birthday Mackenzie!

Sunday, August 16 was Mackenzie's 4th birthday! She has been counting down for months, asking everyday "How many days until I'm 4???" We decided not to have a big party this year, so on her birthday we celebrated with Jon's family. Next weekend we will celebrate with my family.
(Don't forget to pause the music before starting the videos!)
Getting ready to open presents!


Mackenzie is still very interested in dinosaurs. She had asked for a dinorsaur party all year, so that's what she got! She also got a few dinosaur toys, too!

She is also loving the show, "Yo Gabba Gabba". She loves the music and dancing, so at least it's a show that gets her involved instead of just sitting on the couch!

Whoo-hoo! A V-Motion console! Mackenzie loved Jon's Wii so much, and this is a kid's version of it!

Kristen and her boyfriend, Carl. Uncle Lee, Grandma Joyce, Aunt Lisa, Mackayla, Jared, and Jon (somehow I didn't get any pictures of Nanny and Papaw, but they were there too!)


Mackenzie's cake (she and Daddy picked out her cake!) So cute!

The 4 of us!
We were terrible parents--we put trick candles on her cake!


We have such a weird kid--this is the only bite of cake she ate!

After the party, the 4 of us went bowling and out for a birthday dinner.
Mackenzie LOVES bowling. The last time we went was when I was pregnant, so I just watched. Ever since Mackayla was born, Mackenzie has asked to go so that I could bowl with her. So we went for her birthday. We are also going to the aquarium since she hasn't been yet. (In September, after Aunt Beth's wedding!)


Mackenzie's birthday wouldn't be complete without a bowl of pasta! Since Johnny's closed, we found a great little Italian place in Marietta to replace it!
Ice Cream!
On the way home we made a quick stop at Kroger. Mackenzie asked me to take a picture of her and her friend. Whatever you want, kiddo, it's your birthday!

I am so proud of my little girl. Every day she seems to grow up and mature even more. She had such a great time celebrating with family, and is so excited to be 4 years old! Happy Birthday Baby!
