Happy Birthday Makenna

Makenna turned 7 on Saturday. We had a great time celebrating. We had donuts for breakfast and then she opened her family presents- some clothes from Grandma, some jewelery from Oma and then some earrings from mom and dad. Yep I said earrings... with a card that said we had decided to let her get her ears peirced... something she has been begging for for a while now.

We had a great party with 7 of her friends. We made our own pizzas, had a pinata, decorated cookies and did cake and presents. It was a good time for all. Everything ran quite smoothly.

After her party, we took her to Claires to get her ears pierced. Here she is picking out her birthstone for her very first earrings. She was eager and excited. She was a bit nervous but she wanted it badly enough that she was very brave.Here she is getting it done. That face she made was as bad as it got. No crying, screaming or even whining. She is growing up way too fast!

And then on Sunday we went to the Thomas' to celebrate her birthday with them since they couldnt make it to her party. We had the bottom of her birthday cake left so it worked out for us to sing to her again.

Happy Birthday Makenna! We love you SOOOOOOO much!
