Birthday Parties!

We're back and finally getting Mackenzie's birthday party posted! It has been a busy last couple weeks.....fun, but busy!

(Click on picture for more!)

Saturday my family came up to celebrate and we all planned on going to a place in a neighboring town that had an indoor "Recess"! The weather wasn't great, but it worked out for most of our friends and family to come and the kids....well all of us....had a blast! There was big blow up things, rides, games, jungle gyms and even Santa was there! Then on Sunday, her actual birthday, we went to church and then to one of her favorite places to eat....Hickory Park! She always loves to hear them sing Happy Birthday, so it was even better when they sang to her!



Went home and opened a few presents....we had to space them all out, or give her practice which ever. Then for dinner we decided on another one of her favorite places which is a Japanese steakhouse. Well the favorite part is the chef....Yummy Harry! We have been there several times and always ask for the same guy as Mackenzie walks around all the time repeating him.... "Yummy, yummy, my name is Harry!" It was so entertaining.....Harry even seemed excited and said that he remembered Mackenzie from before! I loved how he "flipped" her the egg! If you have never been to a Japanese Steakhouse you should go....most of them are somewhat the same in the fact that they cook right in front of you and are very entertaining!



After dinner we went back home to do the whole cake, ice cream and present thing. Since Mackenzie wanted a "Wiggles" birthday and we couldn't take a cake into the recess place the night before I got a small one for the family! Mackenzie enjoyed all her gifts..but most of all thank you to all who came and made her birthday very special....thank you everyone!

I have to put one last video up....sorry it is too cute! It is Mackenzie and Kate dancing to her new Wiggles guitar!

Hey Nichole. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Here's the deal with the albums. You create an album in Picasa. Then on the...right hand column (I think) it has the html code to embed in your blog. You copy that. Then go back to your blog and add the html gadget, paste your code and you should be set. Don't forget to pick out the album cover before you copy and paste. Hope this works for you.

Nicole, I second what Jessica says. It looks like you did it with the pictures of the girls on right side of the page. I sometimes have issues embeding the code, and just try another day chalking it up to an issue with blogger.

Hi Nichole ~
I saw that Laura Kibbe had an album in her post. You might want to contact her to figure it out.
