5th birthday celebrations...

I had to share pictures from Makenna's birthday celebrations. It has taken me forever, because Blogger has been so slow. Her birthday was on Sunday, February 15. All of our family came to church to surprise her, and we went to lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, Copper River. My co-workers had given me a gift card, and it came in handy.

She's officially a WHOLE HAND!

She has something about looking directly toward a camera. She loves to make me work for a good shot.

To surprise her about our Disney trip, we gave her a stuffed Mickey, a blanket, a pillow, and a picture of an airplane. She was confused at first, but then, she was excited.

Makenna and her "best cousin", Cody

On February 21, we had her birthday party at the Young Chefs Academy in Greenville. It was awesome. Take a look at the pics. Most of them speak for themselves. The children loved cooking pizza!

Oops! Got my pics messed up. Here's one of her favorite gifts from us, a High School Musical shirt.

Apron on... ready to cook!

Measuring flour!

Sara - don't kill me for this picture of Erik! It sums up his personality! :)

Miss Portia helps Makenna measure the first scoop of flour.

Did we have some cute kids or what?

Amelia was a natural in the kitchen. :)

Loving every minute of it!

Kneading the dough

They "flew" around the world to see what kinds of pizza different people like. It was too precious!

Cody was a master chef!

Dough ready, sauce on...

Cheese and pepperoni please!

Opening presents while the pizzas cooked!

The Hello Kitty cake was marvelous! (By the way, I bought it at BiLo!)

Getting ready to blow out the candles...

Yummy!

Could Daddy get her to look at the camera? He is evidently a whole lot better than me at this picture taking stuff than me.

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY!!!! I love you baby!
