McKinley's Three!

Well I haven't done very well at updating my blog the past couple weeks. The past few weeks have been crazy. I finally got our baby announcements out, which is pathetic since she is now 6 weeks old. I've also been trying to get caught up on McKinley's scrapbook and babybook so that I can get busy on Annabelles. This weekend is McKinley's birthday party so I spent the past weekend making birthday invitations and birthday games/decorations. Meanwhile I was trying to get McKinley's barbie house painted before her birthday. Like I said earlier, the past 2 weeks have been crazy. So now I'm going to try and get caught up on our blog.
Yesterday we celebrated McKinleys 3rd birthday. I cannot believe she is 3, which is funny because anyone else we meet can't believe she is only 3. When Brett got off work yesterday we took McKinley to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. It is her favorite place to eat and it is so much fun. Then we took her to this place in the mall called "Jeepers" where they have arcade games and little rides. This was her first time there and she loved it. Her favorite part of the evening was riding the carousel.


Afterward we went home and opened presents. McKinley did pretty well for herself. She got some fun new princess jewelry and and high heels. She also got some barbie dolls and a barbie house. While my parents were out visiting my dad made a barbie house for her that I've painted/decorated and Brett put carpet in. It turned out pretty nice. The kitchen even has a tile floor, which makes it nicer than our house.





Her grandparents sent her a blow up princess house that is a ball pit. McKinley loved playing with all the little balls. However I think her favorite present was the little remote control car we got her. It was really cheep and only goes one direction, but it was perfect for her. The car starts driving as soon as you turn it on, so McKinley spent the evening chasing it around the house. Overall it was a great birthday, and it was so nice to be able to celebrate it together as a family. We sure do love our McKinley bug! She is such a sweet little girl. Since we had Annabelle she has grown up so much. She tries so hard to be our big helper. We are so grateful for her.
