Happy Birthday, McKenzie

Today is McKenzie Ann Chance's 5th birthday! She is a very sweet little girl who loves all things pink and fancies herself as all grown up. Due to Awana meetings on Wednesday night at church where she is a Spark and Connor is a TNT, we celebrated her birthday last night. Her menu of choice for dinner was most sophisticated especially for a five year old. Shrimp scampi over rice with asparagus and Italian bread. No cake for her either! She wanted cupcakes so her mom, Acacia out did her self with a "butterfly cake" shaped out of cupcakes complete with candle antennae and colorful frosting on the wings and body of the butterfly. Laughter rang out all evening long as the birthday girl giggled and squealed with delight at all her gifts. Each one was welcomed with "oh my gosh, this is just what I wanted". As soon as one was open she grabbed another and torn into it. McKenzie's menu choice was delicious and enjoyed by us all. She was the last one to finish but I really think it was due to the excitement and anticipation of opening her gifts. Chris and Acacia have done a wonderful job as parents with she and her brothers and we are very proud of all of them. A party with friends at a local bowling alley for bumper bowling and refreshments is planned on Saturday for her. Alas, Mamaw and Papaw will not be here for that as we need to begin heading in a southerly direction to avoid the coming winter. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MCKENZIE ANN. We love you lots!!!
