On cinco de Mayo (the 5th of May) my baby turned 1! What a blessed day! God has blessed our family with a lovely little girl whom we love so very much. Our little girl who has been earning the nickname of little princess at times has transformed into this "big girl". Its amazing how fast these little ones learn things and change. I've learned how precious every step, and every stage is with Makenna as it always seems like it goes to fast and I didn't have enough time to enjoy the last thing she was doing or learning. We kept busy to keep my mind off the fact that there are no more babies in our house. The kids helped me make muffins to take to the office to celebrate with Daddy (and his co-workers), but the birthday girl fell asleep on the way to the shop and didn't wake up until we left the office! Then it was on to errands and a baby shower. The evening was spent at Chuck-E-Cheese with some friends who came to help us celebrate. We finished up the celebrations by celebrating tonight with our family. It was great that so many people could celebrate our beautiful little girls special day.

I want that fire! (and she got a hold of the hot wax before I got it away...which may have stifled our fun)
"Mmmmm" (you could hear her saying this)
"What will happen if I try to throw this thing?"
"Okay, I think I've had enough mom!"
Happy Birthday Papa!
We love you!
