She is getting so big, and wants to be thought of a big girl...just like her sisters...With her short little haircut, she doesn't quite seem to be my baby anymore, but I will always consider her to be my baby, especially when she snuggles up to me as she falls asleep.
We started swim lessons this week, wasn't sure how Mikenna would take to it. She doesn't like to get her face wet, but swimming with Hannah was too enticing. Hannah got her to put her face in once on the first day, but this picture I snapped of her on her birthday was after Bonnie "dunked" her...
I'd made mini cupcakes so we could sing Happy Birthday to her, that way her friends and cousins could celebrate with her a bit. The lighter I tried using didn't work, so, we didn't light the candles.
When I asked her what type of cake she wanted, thinking we'd be doing some type of princess theme...she said, "A lot of colorful flowers and butterflies." So here you have it! After I took this picture, she asked if she could taste the frosting...which I thought no harm in that...there was a bit on the plate when I'd finished. Little did I know that she would come back a few more times...a nice "clean" ring around the bottom of the cake.
Mikenna mentioned to my mom that her birthday was going to be celebrated at ChuckECheese's...which wasn't in the plans, but since I figured it was a cooler option than swimming, took them there to play the games. We also needed to be out of the house while a few realators came through. While at CEC, as we were playing air hockey, this little girl stood watching us, after our game, Mikenna asked her, "Do you have money?" (the tokens to play) and the little girl shook her head. So, Mikenna gave her a few of hers. Mikenna has such a kind sharing heart. I'm glad she was willing to share, even if that little girls grandpa was at the machine getting their own tokens. :9
Red Robin, of course for our birthday dinners...
Then back to my parents for cake and ice cream!!
