WINTER ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

Early early Saturday morning it began to snow and it didn't stop till Sunday afternoon!!! This is a nightmare to me!!! Justin says this blizzard will be great moisture for the ground. The only blizzard I want is from Dairy Queen!!!

Mackenzie didn't last too long because she kept pulling off her mittens. I finally brought her inside and made her comfortable on the couch and went back out to finish the shoveling...

and surprise surprise she managed to get her boots back on and decided she hadn't had enough!!

She did after this!!!!!

A PRINCESS PARTY!!!

Our sweet little Mackenzie was turning 2 this year and what better way to celebrate than with a Pink Princess Party!!! I sent out some Royal Invitations to all her princess friends, summoning them to partake in the celebration. Her friends came with curled hair and beautiful dresses. It was a perfect day!!

We were so lucky to have Mama and Papa here for her party. I had 5 catering jobs that week, including one on that day, so it was nice to have some extra hands!

I served Kenzie's favorite popcorn chicken along with chips, strawberries, grapes and cucumbers. I glued butterfly jewels on all the hats and pulled a piece of white tulle out the top. They were adorable!!

These were the gift bags I put together for the girls. They were filled with cute princess stuff and candy.

She looked like a true Princess!!

The girls loved their lunch. For the Queens, I prepared chicken caesar salad and we sipped on fresca with cranberry juice.

Princess Claire.

Princess Haylee.

Princess Tylee.

Princess Erin.

The girls were great during the gift opening!! Kenzie got lovely gifts from her friends!!

Mackenzie recieved a beautiful wallet sized photo album from Danielle and Claire with cute pictures of herself and mommy and daddy. It had the words to "I Am A Child Of God" all through it. After opening it she disappeared into her room to look at it all by herself. I had to go get her so she could open the rest of her gifts! Thanks for such a thoughful gift!!

Kenzie had no problem blowing out the candles!!

Thanks to all of friends and family for making this the "perfect princess party"!!!!

A TRIP TO THE EXHIBITION GROUNDS FOR AGGIE DAYS.

Getting ready to go and see all the farm animals. This was Kenzie's expression when we told her she was going to see sheep and piggies.

Cousin Jordan came with us.

Justin said this is where "chicken wings" come from.

They had some really cute mini wagons and trailers that were just Kenzie's size.



Kenzie's favorite, and mine too, were the little piggies. They kept licking and sniffing her fingers. We fell in love with them!!

Kenzie got an up close look at a tiny chick. Two seconds after the photo was taken, she grabbed it's head and started to twist it. She's so humaine!!

The tractors were GINORMOUS!!!!

PAPA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!

We decided it was time to go and visit Mama and Papa and what better time than Grandpa's Birthday! We had a wonderful time celebrating with them and other members of our family. We even took a trip down to the states to do some shopping and go to the BEST mexican restaurant I've ever been to! Thanks Mom and Dad for a great relaxing time!!!

I decorated Dad's bithday cake. It tasted as good as it looked!!! Dad's showing me how big to cut his piece!!!

Dad and his hero Norm!!!

Mom always sets a pretty table! My mom's sister and her family joined us for dinner.

After dinner it turned into hair dressing 101. My cousin Miranda insisted that her mom's hair should be flipped out and not in. Looks great Lisa!!!

The two M&M's!!! Miranda Marie and Mackenzie Marie.

Having a nap with Grandma. Heaven!!!

GREEK ANYONE???

I don't normally bring a camera to my catering jobs, but this one was so colourful I couldn't resist! I did chicken pitas, veggies and dip, a lovely couscous salad and a fruit pizza for dessert.

A FUTURE CAREER????

While I was finishing up some prep work for a catering job, I could hear Mackenzie whimpering in the background. I ignored it till she finally came running into the kitchen with tears rolling down her face. The sad thing is that I couldn't stop laughing!!!
