Mackenzie: Her Birthday & More

This girls keeps us laughing all the time! We all love her and love her reactions to things, the stuff she says, the hugs she gives, and the happiness she brings all of us. She is truly one of a kind! She really wanted a mermaid/Aerial birthday. She also had plans for what she wanted all the kids to do at her party. It was really cute watching her months of planning (talking about all the things she had seen at her siblings' parties to copy for her own party) come together. She really is the life of the party! These are all pictures just from December!

Cooking a concoction for Dad in her fancy dress.

She was helping to make the sand for her cake.

 

This was a fun one to make!

She's in a phase where she will put her face in the bath water, but I cannot wash her hair without a washcloth covering her face.  It's so annoying, but funny that she will submerge her face but a few drops scares her.

Being goofy at a basketball game.

Happy Happy Birthday MJ!

Making food for Dad.

The Nutcracker

Bentley and I had the opportunity to see the Nutcracker ballet in Wichita Falls at the beginning of December. We went with Rachea and Rafe. All of us went to dinner at a hibachi grill and then headed to the theater. Bentley loved getting all dressed up and fancy. She seemed to really like the ballet also. It was fun to spend time with her and do something without everyone else.

She loved getting all dressed up and especially the faux fur.

2 excited girls!

Mackenzie got dressed up too; she didn't come with us, but she loved getting ready with us.

All 3 of us ready to go!

I'm not sure why she needed the glasses, but she wouldn't take them off.

Kinda awkward, but they wanted me to take a picture by the tree too.

Gotta love the cartwheel in a dress.

Bentley's first hibachi experience

She was a fan!

 

Goofy Girls!

And this is why I always make sure the girls wear shorts under their dresses!

Christmas In Wellington

 We live in a great community that provides so much for our kids.  We had Christmas on the Bricks and the Open House at Foxtales.  Our kids love both of these activities.  Kyler missed out on Foxtales because of a basketball game, but the others made up for it by eating his share of cotton candy for him!  I love Christmas time! Poor Kyler also missed out on the downtown activities because he was at the temple with Kenney, but 

Hay rides were the highlight of the night!

Bentley and Radley both decided they would go sing with all the other kids.  I think they enjoyed it more than they let on.
