I can't believe McKinley is two. Two years went by so fast! We had some family over for a party and she was a little bit shy at first, but warmed up when her little cousins got there and she could eat dinner with them at their own special table. We had some of her favorites for dinner, rolls, broccoli and stroganoff.
After dinner, we started off the fun with a Tinkerbell pinata. Robbie and I have a little fire bat, so we let the little girls take swings-and yes, Great Grandpa got hit in the knee with the bat which I can only imagine hurt really bad, but he just laughed it off...thanks Grandpa, I hope there isn't permanent damage. Calista preferred to watch while McKinley and Abi seemed to love hitting it. When they weren't getting through the pinata with the bat, we let them just pull the strings off the bottom and it opened a little "trap door" and all the candy come out.
McKinley has been loving Tinkerbell since about February when got a cool Tinkerbell bracelet from my Grandma. So, after the pinata we pulled out her Tinkerbell birthday cake:
Blowing out the candle with Daddy.
She ate her cake like such a big girl, I couldn't believe it. Although, she does love to use her shirt as a napkin....as you will see in the present opening pictures where there is chocolate all over her clothes!
We saved the presents for last and she had a great time opening and got some really fun stuff from everybody.
It was really funny when she opened clothes, because she would just throw them to the side and keep looking in the box for a toy or something!
Her birthday was great and ever since then we can't get out of the house without coloring, playing in her tent and having a tea party! Thanks everyone for coming and making it such a special and fun day!
