GOOD BYE TO 2008

Where did the year go?

2008 was a very good year for us and we only have God to Thank. But I can't believe 2009 is almost here. 2009 will be a big life changing year......my baby will start to Kindergarten. I can't believe the year has came so fast. It make me sad and happy at the same time. She is growing up fast. I have been so blessed to be able to stay at home with her and watch her grow. She is sassy, sweet, and strong willed. Randy and I don't know what did before we got her. We Thank God every night for blessing us with her and pray He will continue to bless us. God is good. Hope everyone had a good 2008 and a better 2009.

Santa thought McKenzie was Good this year

At Build a Bear

Santa came to Papa and Mimi house.

Christmas morning

Here she comes half a sleep.....

Santa was here.

Christmas is so much fun with McKenzie. She takes her time with each gift. This year we started a new tradition, Elf on a Shelf. We named our Elf "Hermie"....Yes, from the Rudolph movie. But Hermie would sit high on a shelf and watch McKenzie, then at night he flies to Santa, lets Santa know if McKenzie had been good that day and fly back to some where different in the house. Every morning, McKenzie would wake up and try to find Hermie. It was so priceless how excited she would get when she found him. Santa left McKenzie a letter with an unstuffed pink Build A Bear bear under the tree, saying Hermie loved waching her and thanked her for being a good girl. Yesterday, she went and got her new Bear stuffed. you will see it in the pictures. Hope everyone had a great and blessed Christmas.

Christmas Outfit

McKenzie decorated this tree herself and she is SO proud of it. Very Pretty McKenzie.

Before heading to Church this morning, I took a picture of McKenzie in her Christmas outfit. She looks like a doll.

McKenzie and the Reindeers

Tonight we took McKenzie to see Santa and his Reindeers. Two of the reindeers were there, Donner and Blitzen, she really wanted to see Rudolph. The men there said Rudolph was shy and getting ready for the big flight on Wednesday night. McKenzie loved seeing and touching the reindeers, even through it was freezing outside. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Rudolph and the Christmas Dress

I love Rudolph.

Christmas Party.

So Pretty.

Today was McKenzie's Christmas party at Pre-K. She had such a good time and I loved being there with her. Here is some pictures of her Christmas dress. After Pre-K....we went to Papa and Mimi's house and you would never guess what was there for McKenzie. Another RUDOLPH. McKenzie loves Rudolph more than Santa.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hope everyone has a blessed and Merry Christmas. God has been so good to us. Don't forget this Christmas season that Jesus is the real reason for the season.

Fun Weekend

This has been a busy but FUN weekend. Thursday night, McKenzie Mimi and Mommy went to the Library for Reading with Santa. Friday night, Randy and I took McKenzie and a friend Kennedy to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags. They had the best time, riding rides, sledding down a snow hill, and looking at all the pretty lights. Saturday morning, McKenzie was in her first Parade, left there went to Cookies with Santa then finally to a Birthday party. What a fun two days but we are worn out tonight.

Our First Gingerbread House

McKenzie and I made our first Gingerbread House. We had so much fun doing it and it turned out cute. McKenzie loved making it, she would put a piece of candy on the house then eat a piece.

Turkey Feast and Programs at Pre-K.

Today McKenzie had a Thanksgiving Program for the Parents and Grandparents at Pre-K. It was so cute and McKenzie did so good. McKenzie knew all her lines and sang all the songs. WE(mommy, daddy,Mimi and Papa) are so proud of her.

My Little Indians at Awanas!!!

Here is a picture of McKenzie with her best friend Kennedy. Last night was our Thanksgiving Feast for the Cubbies at Church. They made turkeys and told what they were Grateful for. McKenzie said she grateful for her mommy,daddy, Mimi, Papa, flowers and Jesus.

Hat Day at School....

Today is Hat day at school and McKenzie wanted to be a cowgirl. So we found the perfect cowgirl hat with a princess crown on it. And the HSM balloon is the best. She popped her other balloon so Papa got her the HSM balloon and she loves it and had to have her picture with it.

McKenzie the Perfect child.....
Tonight at church we had a guest speaker and he asked to kids to come to the front. McKenzie made her way right up to sit next to the speaker. He asked several questions and McKenzie wasn't afraid to answer them. But this one question made everyone at church laugh and look at me. He asked "Who here is Perfect"...guess who raised there hand....Yes McKenzie. It really was the cutest thing.

No Pancakes this Morning
Friday's are the day that Papa makes pancakes for us, BUT this Friday Papa and Mimi went to Mississippi to see Granny. Last night, McKenzie said "Is Papa making pancakes for Granny tomorrow" . I said "probably" . Mckenzie said "Papa only makes ME chocolate chip pancakes not granny." Mimi and Papa your little grandbaby is missing you.

Just a SwInGiNg!!

This is what McKenzie loves to do outside. We swing in the backyard almost everyday. She likes to swing high so she can see over the fence.

Give me a wink!!!

Look at this sweet girl. McKenzie is winking at the camera. On this day, we had Randy's Birthday party. Happy Birthday Daddy.
