Ode to Mckenna!



Mckenna turned 5 on Sunday the 27th and has enjoyed 3 days of fun! Saturday she went to build a bear and made a pink poodle named Sara. On sunday, she was treated like a queen. We had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, a princess cake and a fairy pinata. The place was decked out in pink, blue and purple decorations. She recieved some roller blades, shoes, and a skirt. I think her favorite was the rollerblades, she puts them on a couple times a day, just to wear them.


Later that evening, we went over to Grandma "B's" and opened presents and sang songs. After cake is when we found out that our dear President Hinckley had passed away, I felt a peaceful sorrow upon hearing the news. He was a great man!

On Monday, we went to Mckenna's well check appointment to make sure she was growing properly, she didn't think that was too fun, especially while getting her blood pressure checked. She flipped out which didn't help the reading. That evening we went and picked up Mckenna's friend Sydney and we went to Chuck E Cheeses. We ate pizza and played lots of games, it was a lot of fun.

4 things we love about Kenna
1-Witty remarks

There are of course many more, but help us name more things we love about Kenna!

Way too much fun! I remember always wanting roller blades for my birthday, but never got them. Kids these days. My new favorite part of your blog are McKenna's fun sayings. You are in for a treat during her teenage years!

I love McKenna's can do attitude. If she can't do it she knows someone that can.

Why Aloha Shoyu soy sauce?

Why not Aloha Shoyu soy sauce!!

So how did you stop McKenna from freaking out at her appointment? Bribes? Punishments?

okay, so we use Aloha Shoyu soy sauce because that is what the recipe calls for and regular soy sauce doesn't taste the same. As for stopping Mckenna from freaking out, I asked her if she would rather have a shot or a hug (blood pressure taken) on her arm. Of course she chose the hug. Gosh wouldn't you?

So they were only taking her blood pressure and you told her she would potentially be given a shot! Wow!
