Doesn't 4 Sound So Old?

Mackenzie had a fabulous time celebrating her much anticipated 4th birthday. Her wish was granted and she was able to have her Grandma Jill, Grandpa Jeff, Grandma Jean, cousin Kate, and Aunt Shelley come visit for the whole weekend. What Fun!

Mackenzie's request was to go to Jungle Jim's which she insisted on calling Disneyland. You would hear it if you did not call it the correct name.



Thanks to everyone who came for cake and presents too. This little girl was in heaven.


We brought Mackenzie home from Mercy hospital in Des Moines 4 years ago. I remember those first several days falling in love with that baby and it was during the Torino winter olympics. I've been surprised how these 2010 winter olympics have brought back such memories of learning to nurse Mackenzie and hold her and dress her and all the time spent staring at her...all to the background of skiing and skating and metal counts. Couldn't believe how much I loved her then and it just keeps growing.
