School Pictures

We got Mckenna's first school pictures in the mail today. They turned out good!
Image 
Mckenna came home from school with this picture in her backpack. Nothing like this to make a mom proud :)

Brielle is the band-aid queen. A band-aid can heal any kind of hurt, even a nose bonk :)

Mckenna is 6!

Sweet Mckenna turned 6 today. She has been wanting her own umbrella for a while.
Image
She was pretty excited.
Image

Image

Image
Mckenna also got a new coat for her birthday, but she had to open it up early since it snowed and it got pretty cold.

Mckenna is the sweetest, most tender hearted little girl. She is very sensitive to the needs of those around her. She is a huge help around the house and with her younger sisters. We are grateful you are part of our family.
Image
Image
Can you guess what kind of party she wanted? Of course, a Frozen party. I had a little too much fun planning it. And Mckenna and her friends loved every minute.

We started off with a Frozen scavenger hunt.
Image
The cake turned out pretty good. Mckenna loved it.
Image
We also spent an afternoon making paper snowflakes to hang above our table. I think we will leave them up all winter long.
Image
Mckenna brought cupcakes to share with her classmates.
Image
We enjoyed lots of blue food. I also made up some Olaf donuts.
Image

Image
We had a great time on her birthday. We sure love you, Mckenna!

Crawler

Image
We have a crawler on our hands! Evelyn never did the army crawl, she just went straight from rolling to crawling on her hands and knees.
Image
I got a video of the girls watching Evelyn crawl for the first time. Mckenna and Brielle are the best cheerleaders.
Image
This is the last picture of Mckenna as a 5 year old... She turns 6 tomorrow. She's getting too old!
Image
Brielle had a sandwich for lunch. She said she was done, and this is what I found... little tiny bites the whole way around. That silly girl can always make me smile.

Snow

Image
Not a day goes by when we aren't playing out in the snow. Especially when their is fresh snow to play in. Evelyn loves to sit and watch the other girls from the window. It's kind of nice to sit and watch from a warm house :)
Image

Image
Image

Image
Mckenna's the queen of eating snow :)
Image

First Snow

We finally got our first snow! Mckenna and Brielle had to get all their snow gear on to play in it.
Image
Less than 24 hours later, we got a "real" first snow. Now that is worthy of putting all the snow gear on for!
Image
We couldn't find Evelyn's pacifiers for a day. We did a mass search and found all of them stashed underneath her carseat in the car. She was one happy girl to have all of her pacifiers back!
Image
Image
It's a rare occasion when Mckenna wears jeans! She decided to wear jeans because she wanted to be like Aunt Tara. Mckenna usually wears leggings and skirts because jeans are comfortable. She looks older wearing jeans!
Image
Image
Our happy girl taking endless rides in the baby stroller. She's a trooper!

Book It

Image
Mckenna makes sure we read every day so she can get her own personal pan pizza through the Book It program. She feels pretty special having her own pizza.

First Tooth

Image
Mckenna lost her first tooth! It was pretty loose for a few days. But she ended up pulling it out on her own. She thought she needed a lot of TP to contain the blood. :)
Image
First smile with her missing a tooth.
Image
Mckenna wrote the tooth fairy a note requesting to leave her tooth there. The next morning, the tooth fairy did not disappoint. That next night, Mckenna told Devin that she wanted to put her tooth under her pillow again so she could get another dollar bill. Devin then told Mckenna about the booger fairy, who comes at night to take your tooth and leave boogers under your pillow. That made Mckenna quickly change her mind about trying to trick the tooth fairy.
