Sparky and McKenzie

Thursday, the Sachse Fire Department came to McKenzie Pre-K class. Parents were told to come and take pictures. On the way to school, McKenzie called her Mimi and asked her if she could come up there. Of course, Mimi couldn't say NO. Look how sweet McKenzie looks with Sparky.

Skating lessons

Today McKenzie took her first Skating

lessons. It was fun, maybe just maybe

we will be back next week. We shall see.

A Lost Dog

Yesterday, McKenzie and I was in the backyard playing, Randy called and asked me to look out the front windows but don't open the door. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Anyway, I looked and there was an old small dog laying in front of our door. McKenzie has been wanting a small dog, so she was very excited. Its very hard on a 4 year old to understand we can't keep it even through it was on our door step. We have 3 Bassett Hounds. That is ENOUGH. We walked around to see if any of our neighbors had lost there dog, but didn't have any luck. We put the dog in our dog run and McKenzie and I made poster. Before it got to late, McKenzie took it one of her doll blankets and rug to the little dog to sleep on. It was really sweet of her. Early this morning, we recieved a call from the owners. They have a 6 year old that left the gate open.
McKenzie was sad to see the dog go, and she was happy that it's owners found there dog.

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!
