Mackenzie's Princess Party

We celebrated Mackenzie's 3rd birthday with a party fit for a princess! She was very specific in her request for a pink princess party and that is what she got! We had a blast with family and friends who were incredibly generous and made Mackenzie's day so special. Thank you to all who sent your love and birthday wishes from near and far. Mackenzie certainly felt the warmth. (Warning: there are a TON of pictures!)

The princesses & prince of the party (missing Isla who was napping and baby Camilla)

Making a cake takes teamwork

Isla Bean woke up just in time to play with all the new toys!

Mackenzie got a new bike from Mommy and Daddy!

And this is when the sugar from the cake set in...

Happy Birthday to our Princess! 

And if not having one photographer was enough, we were lucky to have two! The photos below were taken by our very talented  friend, Kristin Knapp...

Sweet Camilla

Nana and Isla

Lazy mans way of pushing the swings...chair and a beer!

Finally one with Kristin in it! 

My gorgeous niece

She was so thankful for her gifts that she made sure everyone got a hug...

New bike!!!

He is the coolest dude ever!

These two have been play date buddies since they were 5 months old and will be going to preschool together in the fall...love their sweet friendship!
