A weekend of firsts

Julie | February 13, 2010 8:05 pm

We have had quite a few first time events this weekend. Friday night was the first time we have seen it snow since moving to Charleston. It was also Mackenzie’s first time to see snow. She actually saw it when she was a few months old in Arkansas, but that doesn’t count. To top things off, while David and Mackenzie were outside playing in the snow this morning, Taylor and I were playing on the floor and Taylor decided to roll over multiple times from her back to her front. Here are some pictures from our weekend:

Thats right folks....snow, in Charleston!!

The month of December flew by! Mackenzie had her Christmas program at school, David’s family was in town for Christmas, Taylor had her first Christmas, and Madison turned ONE! It was a great end to the year 2009. Here are some pictures from the month of December:

Happy 4th Birthday Mackenzie!!!

Mackenzie turned four years old on November 23rd. It is hard to believe it has been four years already since she was born! We were in Little Rock for the Thanksgiving holidays and Mackenzie’s birthday.
We had a little party for her and her friends at Playtime pizza. She had a blast playing games, riding go carts, eating pizza and of course opening her birthday presents! Here are some pictures from our night.

Stamp Beard

Julie | November 18, 2009 10:59 am

This morning David had to leave early for work. After David left I had Mackenzie watching a cartoon in the den while I took Taylor in the bathroom with me so I could take a quick shower. As I was drying my hair, Mackenzie came running in yelling Mommy Mommy! I turned and looked and she was standing there just staring at me.

Here are pictures of what I saw. She must have gotten bored with her cartoon and decided to play with her stamps.

When I asked her how it happened, she told me Daddy did it….which obviously was not possible. I told her I wanted to take her picture and she was very hesitant. She instantly asked if I was going to send it to Daddy. When I said yes, I could tell she was trying to figure out if she was going to be in trouble or not! I told her Daddy would think it was funny and then she started laughing. Luckily she did let me wash it off before we went to school.

Early birthday celebration

Julie | 10:53 am

Mackenzie’s birthday isn’t technically until November 23rd. However, since we will be in Little Rock for her birthday we needed to have a celebration with YaYa, Grandpa, and the Butlers. So this past Sunday we went over to YaYa’s and had a wonderful lunch and birthday party for Mackenzie.

Ya Ya made wonderful birthday cupcakes.

Mackenzie got a birthday girl crown and earrings. She was in love with it. Can you tell?

Mackenzie got a baby care center from YaYa and Grandpa. She has been asking for one for months and has been playing with it non-stop!

So we have been quite busy in the past month. We have been settling in well with our new family member and have been having a blast with our family.

Mackenzie had a field trip to the Boone Hall Pumpkin Patch with her class.
