You know it was a good birthday when.........

your daughter says this:  "Momma, when is it going to be my next birthday?"  Mckenna Kay (Feburary 7th, 8:52 AM)

PUMP IT UP!!

Mckenna LOVED the slide.  The birthday girl showed no fear!

The birthday crew.  It was a great group of kids.  Mckenna's neighbor friends and friends from preschool.

Tom (around 9 AM on February 6th): "Mckenna, you are 4!!"

Mckenna: "No I'm not."

Tom: "When are you turning 4?"

Mckenna: "At my party!"

For Mckenna, this is when she turned 4!

It was an awesome party, most importantly Mckenna felt like it was her special day.  We are fortunate to have met some great families through her pre-school and our neighborhood.  That being said, we felt a big void being away from family on her birthday.  It just wasn't the same.  After the party we came home, opened presents, and celebrated her some more.  We enjoyed the next few hours playing games and playing with lots of horses :)!   

A few changes today now that Mckenna is 4. 

#1) Mckenna didn't argue today when we told her to go potty because big girls need to go potty when their mom and dad tell them they need to. (This should last about 1 more day)

#2) Mckenna learned how to use tissues by herself in her bed.  She was so excited to tell us this when we checked on her after we put her to bed.  She tried this with not 1 or 2 tissues but about 30!

Love that little girl!  Happy Birthday Mckenna!!!
