our little character

Mackenzie dressed up as Princess Belle for her dinner with the Princess. We took these pictures outside the hotel on our way and she was so darn funny!! She had met some of the characters earlier in the day and as soon as we got her in the grass, she started posing and acting like one of the characters. You will notice how she took my hand and talked nicely with me.....she even asked "would you like to have your picture taken with Princess Belle?" as you can, I obliged. :) As we got in the car, she said to me "Mommy, I am a character now!" Quite possibly one of my favorite memories of the whole trip.

worth every penny

in order to ensure Mackenzie's dreams came true, we took her to have dinner with the Princesses. Bear in mind, this was one of the big incentives we used to potty train her a short time ago. Jamey and I both commented that it was worth every penny we spent on it and the experience was priceless!!!! Mackenzie was AWE-STRUCK with each Princess, although she did start to warm up later in the evening. She told Snow White that "her grandpa is Grumpy" and told Ariel "I love you. But I forgot to tell the other Princesses that." Ariel nicely offered to tell them for her. :)

the happiest place on earth

yes, we did it!! Mackenzie was introduced to the magic that is the mouse on a day trip to the Magic Kingdom.

beach - the aftermath :(

we were SHOCKED at how much sun we all got from our brief time on the beach.

Life's a beach

Life's a beach, and Mackenzie is our beach babe!! Seen here on her first beach experience in Destin, Florida. Suffice to say - she loved it. :)

blog service interupted by fun memories in the making

I apologize for the blog service interuption - but as you can plainly you see.....we were out on an adventure.

An adventure so good Mackenzie had to taste it. Requiring a plane ride, some magic, a few dolphins, a whole lot of fun and even more pictures!!! Hang with me as I upload the 2 memory cards full of memories up and assure you I will try to share them on the blog as soon as I can. :)

that is one happy kitty

Much to Squirrel's delight and amusement, Mackenzie plays the cat is her baby.

twin-kies

Mommy & Mackenzie share many things - the same hair do & matching boots, to illustrate just a few of them. (boots are so similar, minus the size difference, that Mackenzie inadvertenly puts on one of hers and one of mine)

Best of Friends

"Chance made us family - we made us friends"

Best of friends - kindred spirits.....Siena & Mackenzie

She's ALL that - plus a little more.

In Mackenzie's world - it is now called "toots-day". Please adjust your calendars accordingly.
