Preschool and a Birthday Party

On Sunday, we had a birthday supper for Rick's Dad. Kim and Chris and Aidan, Carla, and Decoy all came for supper. We enjoyed watching the football game for the afternoon. And for supper, we deep fried a turkey, and had salad, peas and carrots, and suffed baked potatoes, and dressing. It kind of felt like Thanksgiving...but it was awesome to have turkey. And then of course we had a DQ birthday cake. The girls and Aidan were so excited to get up on his knee and help him blow out his candles and sing Happy Birthday to him. MacKenzie and Kaylee were SO excited to be having a birthday party for Grandpa, they got out the cars tablecloth, and they had to blow up a bunch of balloons. They wanted to decorate with streamers and all too...but we never did that. MacKenzie even HAD to wear a dress. It wouldn't be right if she didn't cause it was a party you know...lol. Thats what she tells me.

Yesterday, MacKenzie had her first day of Preschool. She wasn't really excited until the day/and the night before. On Sunday night, we got out her backpack, and packed it all up with some extra clothes, shoes, decorated her little gingerbread girl for the teacher. We packed a snack, that she picked out all herself. Then we decided which clothes she wanted to wear. All that got her really excited.

When she woke up yesterday morning, she woke up with a smile, and asked if she had enough sleeps yet so she could go.

Rick and I never stayed with her as she was ok with everything. It was nice to have Rick be able to be a part of taking her to her first day of Preschool. As a stay at home mom, I feel a little guilty that I get to be there for most of their firsts. MacKenzie really enjoyed it too. And Rick definitely took advantage of every moment. Walking her up to the door, putting her indoor shoes on, and her name tag. He is such an awesome Dad :)

As you can see MacKenzie was so excited for her first day...you couldn't wipe the smile off of her face.

We took some pics by the tree
