Happy Birthday McKenzie

It is hard to believe that it has been 5 years since our little girl made her entrance into our family! To celebrate she had a friend Princess Tea party on Saturday afternoon. We had a ball! We hid wands, necklaces, and crowns for each "princess" and after they found them, they decorated them with gems, read a princess story about kissing frogs, played games, had a tea party and ate the castle cake(don't mind the yellowish frosting on the cake....all I had was the yellow shortening and didn't want to go to the store late Friday night just to buy white shortening....so hence the yellow tint...oh well! And just for the record, I was going to do little sandwiches for the tea party, but McKenzie really wanted octopuses (see picture), so we had octopuses at our princess tea party, and the girls just played and had a blast!! The only thing she was sad about was that her good friend from our old ward was coming home from a vacation and didn't make it back in time to come! Then tonight, for her "real birthday" we just had family come over for cake and ice cream and presents! Thanks everyone for spoiling her! Gotta love Miss Fancy Nancy (top picture)! We love you McKenzie!

Now that's my kind of party!! I will definitely be referring back to this for Brynn's birthday parties in the future. How did you make that cake?! What a great mom to go through all that work just to make your little girl's day special.
